table_from_coords

tessilator.maketable.table_from_coords(coord_table, ang_max=10.0, type_coord='icrs', gaia_sys=True)

Generate the formatted astropy table from a list of coordinates.

Each entry needs to be in comma separated variable(.csv) format.

Parameters:

coord_tableastropy.table.Table

A table with two columns named ‘col1’ and ‘col2’. If the coordinates are in the ‘icrs’ system, the columns should contain the right ascension and declination values in degrees. If the coordinates are in the ‘galactic’ or ‘ecliptic’ system, the columns contain the longitude and latitude in degrees.

ang_maxfloat, optional, default=10.0

the maximum angular distance in arcseconds from the input coordinates provided in the table.

type_coordstr, optional, default=’icrs’

The coordinate system of the input positions. These can be ‘icrs’ (default), ‘galactic’ or ‘ecliptic’.

gaia_sysbool, optional, default=True

Choose to format the data based on Gaia DR3. Note that no contamination can be calculated if this is False.

Returns:

gaia_tableastropy.table.Table

The output table ready for further analysis.
