HealpixSkyMap¶

class lsst.skymap.healpixSkyMap.HealpixSkyMap(config, version=0)

Bases: CachingSkyMap

HEALPix-based sky map pixelization.

We put a Tract at the position of each HEALPixel.

Parameters:

configlsst.skymap.BaseSkyMapConfig: The configuration for this SkyMap.
versionint or tuple of int (optional): Software version of this class, to retain compatibility with old instances.

Methods Documentation

findClosestTractPatchList(coordList)¶

Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.

Parameters:

coordListlsst.geom.SpherePoint: List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.

Returns:

retListlist: list of (TractInfo, list of PatchInfo) for tracts and patches that contain, or may contain, the specified region. The list will be empty if there is no overlap.

findTract(coord)¶

Find the tract whose inner region includes the coord.

Parameters:

coordlsst.geom.SpherePoint: ICRS sky coordinate to search for.

Returns:

tractInfoTractInfo: Info for tract whose inner region includes the coord.

findTractIdArray(ra, dec, degrees=False)¶

Find array of tract IDs with vectorized operations (where supported).

If a given sky map does not support vectorized operations, then a loop over findTract will be called.

Parameters:

ranumpy.ndarray: Array of Right Ascension. Units are radians unless degrees=True.
decnumpy.ndarray: Array of Declination. Units are radians unless degrees=True.
degreesbool, optional: Input ra, dec arrays are degrees if True.

Returns:

tractIdnumpy.ndarray: Array of tract IDs

Notes

If coord is equidistant between multiple sky tract centers then one is arbitrarily chosen.

Warning

If tracts do not cover the whole sky then the returned tract may not include the given ra/dec.

findTractPatchList(coordList)¶

Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.

Parameters:

coordListlist of lsst.geom.SpherePoint: List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.

Returns:

reListlist of (TractInfo, list of PatchInfo): For tracts and patches that contain, or may contain, the specified region. The list will be empty if there is no overlap.

Notes

Warning

This uses a naive algorithm that may find some tracts and patches that do not overlap the region (especially if the region is not a rectangle aligned along patch x, y).

generateTract(index)¶: Generate TractInfo for the specified tract index.

getSha1()¶

Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.

Returns:

sha1bytes: A 20-byte hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.

Notes

Subclasses should almost always override updateSha1 instead of this function to add subclass-specific state to the hash.

logSkyMapInfo(log)¶

Write information about a sky map to supplied log

Parameters:

loglogging.Logger: Log object that information about skymap will be written.

register(name, butler)¶

Add skymap, tract, and patch Dimension entries to the given Gen3 Butler.

Parameters:

namestr: The name of the skymap.
butlerlsst.daf.butler.Butler: The butler to add to.

Raises:

lsst.daf.butler.registry.ConflictingDefinitionError: Raised if a different skymap exists with the same name.

Notes

Registering the same skymap multiple times (with the exact same definition) is safe, but inefficient; most of the work of computing the rows to be inserted must be done first in order to check for consistency between the new skymap and any existing one.

Re-registering a skymap with different tract and/or patch definitions but the same summary information may not be detected as a conflict but will never result in updating the skymap; there is intentionally no way to modify a registered skymap (aside from manual administrative operations on the database), as it is hard to guarantee that this can be done without affecting reproducibility.

updateSha1(sha1)¶: Add subclass-specific state or configuration options to the SHA1.
