ICelestialBodyInformation#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.ICelestialBodyInformation#

The interface represents information associated with a celestial body.

Overview#

get_last_computed_direction_in_icrf

Return the last computed direction vector in ICRF.

identifier

Get the identification of the star as per star catalog.

catalog_name

Get a name of the star catalog.

right_ascension

Right ascention. Use the Angle dimension.

declination

Declination. Use the Angle dimension.

parallax

Trigonometric parallax. Use the Angle dimension.

velocity

Radial velocity.

visual_magnitude

Visual magnitude.

b_minus_v

Johnson B-V color index.

effective_temperature

Star’s effective temperature. Use the Temperature dimension.

magnitude_to_irradiance_conversion_factor

Magnitude to irradiance conversion factor is not given directly in any catalog. This factor converts the Planck function radiance to a rescaled irradiance at Earth’s distance from the star. Unitless.
