public class AzTarget
extends AbstractTargetValue
implements TargetDependIncreasing, ParameterDepending, TimeDependingValue, TimeDependingTargetValue, Reloadable

Represents the azimuth of the actual target in degrees. The azimuth is counted astronomical, i.e. starting with zero at south, westwards. Using

 sin(a)cos(h)=sin(τ)cos(δ)

 cos(a)cos(h)=cos(δ)sin(φ)cos(τ)-cos(φ)sin(δ)
 
 
 One gets the tan formular used here:
 
 
 tan(a)=sin(τ)/(sin(φ)cos(τ)-cos(φ)tan(δ)
 
 
 Follows the general Value contract and returns a quantity in degrees.
 Three other globals must be registered, TauTarget, DecTarget,
 and Latitude.

Constructor Detail

AzTarget

public AzTarget(Map<String,String> info)

Constructs a new airmass target object. Note that this global can only function correctly after the tau and dec of the target and the teide latitude have been registered.

Method Detail

phi - Latitude in degrees.

dec - Declination of object in degree.

target - If non-null the target depending time is used.
