GeocentricSolarEcliptic¶

class heliopy.coordinates.frames.GeocentricSolarEcliptic(*args, copy=True, representation_type=None, differential_type=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: astropy.coordinates.baseframe.BaseCoordinateFrame

A coordinate frame in the Geocentric Solar Ecliptic (GSE) system.

Possible call signatures:

gse = GeocentricSolarEcliptic(x, y, z)
gse = GeocentricSolarEcliptic(x, y, z, obstime)

The x-y plane is the Earth mean ecliptic, the x-axis points from the Earth to the Sun, and the z-axis points North out of the ecliptic plane.

Parameters:	x (Quantity) – x-coordinate(s) y (Quantity) – y-coordinate(s) z (Quantity) – z-coordinate(s) obstime (datetime, optional) – Observation time. Required for some transformations between different coordinate systems.
