Etymology

Synopsis

MeasComet is the interface class between generated Comet position tables and the Direction conversion machinery. Tables are found using the aipsrc (using measures.<table>.directory) mechanism. If not provided they are assumed to reside in standard places Tables are assumed to have the VS_VERSION, VS_DATE, VS_CREATE, VS_TYPE, MJD0 (first MJD in table - 1.0 * dMJD, >= 10000), dMJD (increment between successive MJDs, in days, > 0), and NAME keywords, be gapless (constant dMJD), and be of type IERS, or else an exception will be thrown.
They are also assumed to have the MJD, RA, DEC, Rho, and RadVel columns. The DiskLong and DiskLat columns can be used if they are present, but they are no longer expected. The get() method will obtain data from the cometary tables. The data obtained will be in the specified frame. Note that the normal usage of these tables is through the Measures system.

Note: A message is logged (once) if a date outside the range in the Tables is asked for;

Thrown Exceptions

AipsError if table opened has wrong format or otherwise corrupted.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::MeasComet::MeasComet ( )

Construct using the aipsrc value (measures.comet.file)

casacore::MeasComet::MeasComet ( const String & path )

explicit

Construct a table from the named path.

casacore::MeasComet::MeasComet	(	const Table &	tabin,
		const String &	path
	)

Construct a table from the name and the input table.

casacore::MeasComet::MeasComet ( const MeasComet & other )

Copy constructor.

casacore::MeasComet::~MeasComet ( )

Member Function Documentation

MeasComet* casacore::MeasComet::clone ( ) const

Create a clone.

void casacore::MeasComet::closeMeas ( )

Close the Comet tabls only.

Bool casacore::MeasComet::fillMeas ( Double utf ) const

private

Fill Table lines.

Bool casacore::MeasComet::get	(	MVPosition &	returnValue,
		Double	date
	)		const

Get a comet position.

static Double casacore::MeasComet::get_Quantity_keyword	(	const TableRecord &	ks,
		const String &	kw,
		const Unit &	unit,
		Bool &	success
	)

static

Convenience function that returns ks[kw] in units of unit, setting success.

Bool casacore::MeasComet::getDisk	(	MVDirection &	returnValue,
		Double	date
	)		const

Get the local on-disk direction.

Returns False if the time or sub-observer longitude and latitude are unavailable, True on success.

MVDirection casacore::MeasComet::getDiskLongLat ( const uInt index ) const

private

Double casacore::MeasComet::getEnd ( ) const

Get the end of the table (in MJD)

Bool casacore::MeasComet::getExtras ( )

private

Try to read mean_rad_p and temperature_p, returning whether or not it was successful.

(but the real mark of success is whether or not they are positive.) It sets haveTriedExtras_p to true and will return right away if it is already true.

Double casacore::MeasComet::getMeanRad ( const Bool squawk )

Return the mean radius in AU, or -1 if the table does not have it.

If squawk is true an error message will also be posted.

const String& casacore::MeasComet::getName ( ) const

Get the name of the comet.

MDirection::Types casacore::MeasComet::getPosrefsysType ( ) const

Get the posrefsys dir type.

Bool casacore::MeasComet::getRadVel	(	MVRadialVelocity &	returnValue,
		Double	date
	)		const

Get the velocity from a comet table, interpolated for date(in MJD(TDB)).

MVPosition casacore::MeasComet::getRelPosition ( const uInt index ) const

private

Helper functions for accessing ldat_p.

index should be either 0 or 1, but that isn't checked!

Double casacore::MeasComet::getStart ( ) const

Get the start of the table (in MJD)

String casacore::MeasComet::getTablePath ( )

Convenience function that returns the absolute path to the ephemeris table connected to the MeasComet object.

Double casacore::MeasComet::getTemperature ( const Bool squawk )

Return the temperature in K, or -1 if the table does not have it.

If squawk is true an error message will also be posted.

const MVPosition& casacore::MeasComet::getTopo ( ) const

Get the topo position.

MDirection::Types casacore::MeasComet::getType ( ) const

Get the direction type.
