Scorer

class astroplan.Scorer(blocks, observer, schedule, global_constraints=[])

Bases: object

Returns scores and score arrays from the evaluation of constraints on observing blocks

Parameters:

blocks : list of ObservingBlock objects

list of blocks that need to be scored

observer : Observer

the observer

schedule : Schedule

The schedule inside which the blocks should fit

global_constraints : list of Constraint objects

any Constraint that applies to all the blocks

Methods Summary

create_score_array([time_resolution])	this makes a score array over the entire schedule for all of the
from_start_end(blocks, observer, start_time, …)	for if you don’t have a schedule/ aren’t inside a scheduler

Methods Documentation

create_score_array(time_resolution=<Quantity 1.0 min>)

this makes a score array over the entire schedule for all of the blocks and each Constraint in the .constraints of each block and in self.global_constraints.

Parameters:

time_resolution : Quantity

the time between each scored time

Returns:

score_array : ndarray

array with dimensions (# of blocks, schedule length/ time_resolution

classmethod from_start_end(blocks, observer, start_time, end_time, global_constraints=[])

for if you don’t have a schedule/ aren’t inside a scheduler
