Should astropy.constants.Constant be used for IAU 2009/2012 System of Astronomical Constants

Question

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 1 comments

The astrodynamics.constants module will contain constants from the IAU 2009/2012 System of Astronomical Constants (PDF).

Initially I had planned for these to be instances of astropy.units.quantity.Quantity, as I had started to do with astrodynamics.constants.wgs84.

I think that the astropy.constants.Constant class should be used, allowing source and uncertainty information to be captured.

astrodynamics.constants.Constant was adapted from astropy.constants.Constant
