summarize_tracklet

ssapy.correlate_tracks.summarize_tracklet(arc)[source][source]

Compute mean ra/dec, uncertainty in mean, proper motion, uncertainty for a short arc.

Parameters:

arc (the short arc of detections) –

Returns:

  • [(ra, dec), (dra, ddec), (pmra, pmdec), (dpmra, dpmdec)]

  • ra, dec (the mean position in right ascension and declination)

  • dra, ddec (the uncertainty in the mean RA and declination)

  • pmra, pmdec (the proper motion in right ascension and declination)

  • dpmra, dpmdec (the uncertainty in the proper motion in RA and declination)
