class rubin_sim.utils.Site(name=None, longitude=None, latitude=None, height=None, temperature=None, pressure=None, humidity=None, lapse_rate=None)¶

Bases: object

This class will store site information for use in Catalog objects.

Defaults values are LSST site values taken from the Observatory System Specification document https://docushare.lsstcorp.org/docushare/dsweb/ImageStoreViewer/LSE-30 on 4 January 2016

Parameters:

namestr, opt: The name of the observatory. Set to ‘LSST’ for other parameters to default to LSST values.
longitudefloat, opt: Longitude of the site in degrees.
latitudefloat, opt: Latitude of the site in degrees.
heightfloat, opt: Height of the site in meters.
temperaturefloat, opt: Mean temperature in Centigrade
pressurefloat, opt: Pressure for the site in millibars.
humidityfloat, opt: Relative humidity (range 0-1).
lapse_ratefloat, opt: Change in temperature in Kelvins per meter
