Aberration

class sonic.Aberration

Method Summary

static aberrate(u_in, v_KMS)

Implements stellar aberration given the line of sights in frame a and velocity of b with respect to a, computes line of sights in frame b

Inputs:

• u_in (1x1 sonic.Points2 or sonic.PointsS2): either a SONIC Points2 object or PointsS2 object containing vectors to correct via stellar aberration.

• v_KMS (3x1 double): velocity vector of b with respect to a.

Outputs:

• u_adj (1x1 sonic.Points2 or sonic.PointsS2): SONIC PointsS2 object containing the LOS vectors from the observer to the stars corrected for stellar aberration
