NAME
Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::UKIRTNew - Base class for translation of new UKIRT instruments
SYNOPSIS
use Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::UKIRTNew;
DESCRIPTION
This class provides a generic set of translations that are common to the newer generation of instruments from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. This includes MICHELLE, UIST, UFTI and WFCAM. It should not be used directly for translation of instrument FITS headers.
COMPLEX CONVERSIONS
These methods are more complicated than a simple mapping. We have to provide both from- and to-FITS conversions All these routines are methods and the to_ routines all take a reference to a hash and return the translated value (a many-to-one mapping) The from_ methods take a reference to a generic hash and return a translated hash (sometimes these are many-to-many)
- to_UTDATE
-
Converts FITS header values into one unified UT start date value.
- from_UTDATE
-
Converts UT date in the form
yyyy-mm-dd
toyyyymmdd
. - to_UTSTART
-
Converts UT date in
DATE-OBS
header intoTime::Piece
object. - from_UTSTART
-
Returns the starting observation time in ISO8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
- to_UTEND
-
Converts UT date in
DATE-END
header intoTime::Piece
object. - from_UTEND
-
Returns the starting observation time in ISO8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
- to_INST_DHS
-
Sets the instrument data handling system header.
