pint.utils.get_conjunction

pint.utils.get_conjunction(coord: SkyCoord, t0: Time, precision: Literal['low', 'high'] = 'low', ecl: str = 'IERS2010') Time[source]

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:
Returns:

  • astropy.time.Time – Time of conjunction

  • astropy.units.Quantity – Elongation at conjunction
