giant.catalogues.utilities.DEG2MAS¶
- giant.catalogues.utilities.DEG2MAS: float = 3600000¶
This constant converts from units of degrees to units of milli-arc-seconds through multiplication.
That is
angle_mas = angle_deg*DEG2MAS
whereangle_mas
is the angle in milli-arc-seconds andangle_deg
is the angle in degrees.Mathematically this is \(3600000\).
