Sky2Pix_Airy

class astropy.modeling.projections.Sky2Pix_Airy(theta_b=90.0, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

Bases: astropy.modeling.projections.Sky2PixProjection, astropy.modeling.projections.Zenithal

Airy - sky to pixel.

Corresponds to the AIR projection in FITS WCS.

See Zenithal for a definition of the full transformation.

\[R_\theta = -2 \frac{180^\circ}{\pi}\left(\frac{\ln(\cos \xi)}{\tan \xi} + \frac{\ln(\cos \xi_b)}{\tan^2 \xi_b} \tan \xi \right)\]

where:

\[\begin{split}\xi &= \frac{90^\circ - \theta}{2} \\ \xi_b &= \frac{90^\circ - \theta_b}{2}\end{split}\]
Parameters:
theta_b : float

The latitude \(\theta_b\) at which to minimize the error, in degrees. Default is 90°.
