a: Quantity,
r: Quantity,
name: str = 'Unnamed Telescope',
)[source]#

Bases: object

Telescope representation used by the interferometer.

Parameters:

  • a (u.Quantity) – Collecting area as an Astropy quantity in a surface area unit (e.g., m**2).

  • r (u.Quantity) – Relative position on the plane as an Astropy quantity in a length unit (e.g., m). Must be a 2-vector (shape (2,)).

  • name (str) – Human-readable name for the telescope.

Notes

Exceptions are raised by the setters if units are incorrect.
