healpy.query_disc¶
-
healpy.query_disc(nside, vec, radius, inclusive=False, fact=4, nest=False, ndarray buff=None)¶ Returns pixels whose centers lie within the disk defined by vec and radius (in radians) (if inclusive is False), or which overlap with this disk (if inclusive is True).
- Parameters
- nsideint
The nside of the Healpix map.
- vecfloat, sequence of 3 elements
The coordinates of unit vector defining the disk center.
- radiusfloat
The radius (in radians) of the disk
- inclusivebool, optional
If False, return the exact set of pixels whose pixel centers lie within the disk; if True, return all pixels that overlap with the disk, and maybe a few more. Default: False
- factint, optional
Only used when inclusive=True. The overlapping test will be done at the resolution fact*nside. For NESTED ordering, fact must be a power of 2, less than 2**30, else it can be any positive integer. Default: 4.
- nest: bool, optional
if True, assume NESTED pixel ordering, otherwise, RING pixel ordering
- buff: int array, optional
if provided, this numpy array is used to contain the return values and must be at least long enough to do so
- Returns
- ipixint, array
The pixels which lie within the given disk.
