slant_zenithal_perspective-1.1.0¶

The slant zenithal perspective projection.

Description

Corresponds to the SZP projection in the FITS WCS standard.

See zenithal for the definition of the full transformation.

The pixel-to-sky transformation is defined as:

\[\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi R_\theta}\right)\]

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

\[R_\theta = \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}\cot \theta\]

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

Schema Definitions ¶

This node must validate against all of the following:

This type is an object with the following properties:
- mu
  number
  Distance from point of projection to center of sphere in spherical radii.
  
  Default value: 0
- phi0
  number
  The longitude \(\phi_0\) of the reference point, in degrees.
  
  Default value: 0
- theta0
  number
  The latitude \(\theta_0\) of the reference point, in degrees.
  
  Default value: 90
