lsst.skymap.ringsSkyMap.
RingsSkyMap
(config, version=1)¶ Bases:
lsst.skymap.cachingSkyMap.CachingSkyMap
Rings sky map pixelization.
We divide the sphere into N rings of Declination, plus the two polar caps, which sets the size of the individual tracts. The rings are divided in RA into an integral number of tracts of this size; this division is made at the Declination closest to zero so as to ensure full overlap.
Rings are numbered in the rings from south to north. The south pole cap is
tract=0
, then the tract atraStart
in the southernmost ring istract=1
. Numbering continues (in the positive RA direction) around that ring and then continues in the same fashion with the next ring north, and so on until all reaching the north pole cap, which istract=len(skymap) - 1
.However,
version=0
had a bug in the numbering of the tracts: the first and last tracts in the first (southernmost) ring were identical, and the first tract in the last (northernmost) ring was missing. When usingversion=0
, these tracts remain missing in order to preserve the numbering scheme.- Parameters
- config
lsst.skymap.RingsSkyMapConfig
The configuration for this SkyMap.
- version
int
, optional Software version of this class, to retain compatibility with old verisons.
version=0
covers the period from first implementation until DM-14809, at which point bugs were identified in the numbering of tracts (affecting only tracts at RA=0).version=1
uses the post-DM-14809 tract numbering.

Methods Documentation
-
findAllTracts
(coord)¶ Find all tracts which include the specified coord.
- Parameters
- coord
lsst.geom.SpherePoint
ICRS sky coordinate to search for.
- coord
- Returns
- tractList
list
ofTractInfo
The tracts which include the specified coord.
- tractList
-
findClosestTractPatchList
(coordList)¶ Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.
- Parameters
- coordList
lsst.geom.SpherePoint
List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
- coordList
- Returns
- retList
list
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.
- retList
-
findTract
(coord)¶ Find the tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.
- Parameters
- coord
lsst.geom.SpherePoint
ICRS sky coordinate to search for.
- coord
- Returns
- result
TractInfo
TractInfo of tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.
- result
Notes
If coord is equidistant between multiple sky tract centers then one is arbitrarily chosen.
The default implementation is not very efficient; subclasses may wish to override.
Warning: If tracts do not cover the whole sky then the returned tract may not include the coord.
-
findTractPatchList
(coordList)¶ Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.
- Parameters
- coordList
list
oflsst.geom.SpherePoint
List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
- coordList
- Returns
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.
-
getRingIndices
(index)¶ Calculate ring indices given a numerical index of a tract.
The ring indices are the ring number and the tract number within the ring.
The ring number is -1 for the south polar cap and increases to the north. The north polar cap has ring number = numRings. The tract number is zero for either of the polar caps.
-
getSha1
()¶ Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.
- Returns
- sha1
bytes
A 20-byte hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.
- sha1
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
- log
lsst.log.Log
Log object that information about skymap will be written
- log
-
register
(name, registry)¶ Add SkyMap, Tract, and Patch Dimension entries to the given Gen3 Butler Registry.
- Parameters
- name
str
The name of the skymap.
- registry
lsst.daf.butler.Registry
The registry to add to.
- name
-
updateSha1
(sha1)¶ Add subclass-specific state or configuration options to the SHA1.
