pint.utils.get_conjunction

pint.utils.get_conjunction(coord: SkyCoord, t0: Time, precision: str = 'low', ecl: str = 'IERS2010') → Tuple[Time, Quantity]

Find first time of Solar conjuction after t0 and approximate elongation at conjunction.

Offers a low-precision version (based on analytic expression of Solar longitude) Or a higher-precision version (based on interpolating astropy.coordinates.get_sun())

Parameters:

• coord (astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord) –

• t0 (astropy.time.Time) –

• precision (str, optional) – “low” or “high” precision

• ecl (str, optional) – Obliquity for PulsarEcliptic coordinates

Returns:

• astropy.time.Time – Time of conjunction

• astropy.units.Quantity – Elongation at conjunction
