giant.catalogues.utilities.RAD2MAS¶
- giant.catalogues.utilities.RAD2MAS: float = 206264806.24709636¶
This constant converts from units of radians to units of milli-arc-seconds through multiplication.
That is
angle_mas = angle_rad*RAD2MAS
whereangle_mas
is the angle in milli-arc-seconds andangle_rad
is the angle in radians.Mathematically this is \(\frac{180}{3600000\pi}\).
