astropytime
Astropytime is the time-related subpackage of the Astropy project, providing tools for representing, manipulating, and converting times in astronomical applications. It centers on the Time class and related utilities to work with times across different standards and formats.
Time objects can be created from ISO-8601 strings, Julian Date (JD), Modified Julian Date (MJD), or Unix
The package supports conversions between scales and formats, enabling precise transformations and representations. Output formats include
Astropytime integrates with other Astropy components, including coordinates and ephemerides, to support time-dependent calculations, barycentric corrections,
Documentation and reference implementations provide guidance for common tasks such as parsing, formatting, and conversions, as
