giant.catalogues.utilities.MAS2RAD¶
- giant.catalogues.utilities.MAS2RAD: float = 4.8481368110953594e-09¶
This constant converts from units of milli-arc-seconds to units of radians through multiplication.
That is
angle_rad = angle_mas*MAS2RAD
whereangle_mas
is the angle in milli-arc-seconds andangle_rad
is the angle in radians.Mathematically this is \(\frac{3600000\pi}{180}\).
