Distance — Astropy v7.1.0

class astropy.coordinates.Distance(value=None, unit=None, z=None, cosmology=None, distmod=None, parallax=None, dtype=<class 'numpy.inexact'>, copy=True, order=None, subok=False, ndmin=0, allow_negative=False)[source]#

Bases: SpecificTypeQuantity

A one-dimensional distance.

This can be initialized by providing one of the following:

• Distance value (array or float) and a unit

• Quantity object with dimensionality of length

• Redshift and (optionally) a Cosmology

• Distance modulus

• Parallax

Parameters:

valuescalar or Quantity [:ref: ‘length’]

The value of this distance.

unitUnitBase [:ref: ‘length’]

The unit for this distance.

zfloat

A redshift for this distance. It will be converted to a distance by computing the luminosity distance for this redshift given the cosmology specified by cosmology. Must be given as a keyword argument.

cosmologyCosmology or None

A cosmology that will be used to compute the distance from z. If None, the current cosmology will be used (see astropy.cosmology for details).

distmodfloat or Quantity

The distance modulus for this distance. Note that if unit is not provided, a guess will be made at the unit between AU, pc, kpc, and Mpc.

parallaxastropy:angle-like

The parallax in angular units.

dtypedtype, optional

See Quantity.

copybool, optional

See Quantity.

order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’}, optional

See Quantity.

subokbool, optional

See Quantity.

ndminint, optional

See Quantity.

allow_negativebool, optional

Whether to allow negative distances (which are possible in some cosmologies). Default: False.

Raises:

UnitsError

If the unit is not a length unit.

ValueError

If value specified is less than 0 and allow_negative=False.

If cosmology is provided when z is not given.

If either none or more than one of value, z, distmod, or parallax were given.

Examples

>>> from astropy import units as u
>>> from astropy.cosmology import WMAP5
>>> Distance(10, u.Mpc)
<Distance 10. Mpc>
>>> Distance(40*u.pc, unit=u.kpc)
<Distance 0.04 kpc>
>>> Distance(z=0.23)
<Distance 1184.01657566 Mpc>
>>> Distance(z=0.23, cosmology=WMAP5)
<Distance 1147.78831918 Mpc>
>>> Distance(distmod=24.47*u.mag)
<Distance 783.42964277 kpc>
>>> Distance(parallax=21.34*u.mas)
<Distance 46.86035614 pc>

Methods Documentation

compute_z(cosmology=None, **atzkw)[source]#

The redshift for this distance assuming its physical distance is a luminosity distance.

Parameters:
