DodecaSkyMap

class lsst.skymap.DodecaSkyMap(config=None)

Bases: lsst.skymap.BaseSkyMap

Dodecahedron-based sky map pixelization.

DodecaSkyMap divides the sky into 12 overlapping Tracts arranged as the faces of a dodecahedron.

Parameters:

config : lsst.skymap.BaseSkyMapConfig (optional)

The configuration for this SkyMap; if None use the default config.

Methods Documentation

findClosestTractPatchList(coordList)

Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.

Parameters:

coordList : lsst.geom.SpherePoint

List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.

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.

findTract(coord)

Find the tract whose inner region includes the coord.

Parameters:

coord : lsst.geom.SpherePoint

ICRS sky coordinate to search for.

Returns:

tractInfo : TractInfo

Info for tract whose inner region includes the coord.

findTractPatchList(coordList)

Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.

Parameters:

coordList : list of lsst.geom.SpherePoint

List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.

Returns:

reList : 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.

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).

getSha1()

Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.

Returns:

sha1 : bytes

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.

getVersion()

Return version (e.g. for pickle).

Returns:

version : tuple of int

Version as a pair of integers.

getWithTractsOnPoles()

Return True if there are tracts centered on the poles.

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

register(name, butler)

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

Parameters:

name : str

The name of the skymap.

butler : lsst.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.
