mercator-1.0.0

The Mercator projection.

Description

Corresponds to the MER projection in the FITS WCS standard.

The pixel-to-sky transformation is defined as:

\[\begin{split}\phi &= x \\ \theta &= 2 \tan^{-1}\left(e^{y \pi / 180^{\circ}}\right)-90^{\circ}\end{split}\]

And the sky-to-pixel transformation is defined as:

\[\begin{split}x &= \phi \\ y &= \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}\ln \tan \left(\frac{90^{\circ} + \theta}{2}\right)\end{split}\]

Invertibility: All ASDF tools are required to provide the inverse of this transform.

  Corresponds to the `MER` projection in the FITS WCS standard.

  The pixel-to-sky transformation is defined as:

  $$\phi &= x \\
  \theta &= 2 \tan^{-1}\left(e^{y \pi / 180^{\circ}}\right)-90^{\circ}$$

  And the sky-to-pixel transformation is defined as:

  $$x &= \phi \\
  y &= \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}\ln \tan \left(\frac{90^{\circ} + \theta}{2}\right)$$

  Invertibility: All ASDF tools are required to provide the inverse of
  this transform.
