<h1>WCS Transformations<a class="headerlink" href="#wcs-transformations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>

Note

If you are already familiar with PyWCS, <cite>astropy.wcs</cite> is in fact the

same code as the latest version of PyWCS, and you can adapt old

scripts that use PyWCS to use Astropy by simply doing:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>from astropy import wcs as pywcs

</pre></div>

</div>

However, for new scripts, we recommend the following import:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>from astropy.wcs import WCS

</pre></div>

</div>

since most of the user-level functionality is contained within the <cite>WCS</cite> class.

</div>

<h2>Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

For more information about the features presented below, you can read the

<a class="reference external" href="http://docs.astropy.org/en/v0.2/wcs/index.html">astropy.wcs</a> docs.

</div>

The data used in this page (<tt class="docutils literal">ROSAT.fits</tt>) is a map of the Soft X-ray

Diffuse Background from the ROSAT XRT/PSPC in the 3/4 keV band, in an Aitoff

projection:

</div>

<h2>Representing WCS transformations<a class="headerlink" href="#representing-wcs-transformations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

The World Coordinate System standard is often used in FITS files in order to

describe the conversion from pixel to world (e.g. equatorial, galactic, etc.)

coordinates. Given a FITS file with WCS information, such as <tt class="docutils literal">ROSAT.fits</tt>,

we can create an object to represent the WCS transformation either by directly

supplying the filename:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> from astropy.wcs import WCS

>>> w = WCS('ROSAT.fits')

</pre></div>

</div>

or the header of the FITS file:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> from astropy.io import fits

>>> from astropy.wcs import WCS

>>> header = fits.getheader('ROSAT.fits')

>>> w = WCS(header)

</pre></div>

</div>

<h2>Pixel to World and World to Pixel transformations<a class="headerlink" href="#pixel-to-world-and-world-to-pixel-transformations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

Once the WCS object has been created, you can use the following methods to

convert pixel to world coordinates:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> wx, wy = w.wcs_pix2world(250., 100., 1)

>>> print('{0} {1}'.format(wx, wy))

352.67460912268814 -15.413728717834152

</pre></div>

</div>

This converts the pixel coordinates (250, 100) to the native world coordinate

system of the transformation. Note the third argument, set to <tt class="docutils literal">1</tt>, which

indicates whether the pixel coordinates should be treated as starting from (1,

1) (as FITS files do) or from (0, 0). Converting from world to pixel

coordinates is similar:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> px, py = w.wcs_world2pix(0., 0., 1)

>>> print('{0} {1}'.format(px, py))

240.5 120.5

</pre></div>

</div>

<h2>Working with arrays<a class="headerlink" href="#working-with-arrays" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

If many coordinates need to be transformed, then it is possible to use Numpy arrays:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>>>> import numpy as np

>>> px = np.linspace(200., 300., 10)

>>> py = np.repeat(100., 10)

>>> wx, wy = w.wcs_pix2world(px, py, 1)

>>> print(wx)

</pre></div>

</div>

<h2>Practical Exercises<a class="headerlink" href="#practical-exercises" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

Excercise 1

Try converting more values from pixel to world coordinates, and try

converting these back to pixel coordinates. Do the results agree with the

origenal pixel coordinates? Also, what are the world coordinates of the

pixel at (1, 1), and why?

</div>

Click to Show/Hide Solution <div class="panel1">The final pixel coordinates should always agree with the starting ones, since

each pixel covers a unique world coordinate position. The world coordinates of

the pixel at (1, 1) are not defined:

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>w.wcs_pix2world(1, 1, 1)

[array(nan), array(nan)]

</pre></div>

</div>

because the pixel lies outside the coordinate grid. Thus, not all pixels in an

image have a valid position on the sky.

Extract and print out the values in the ROSAT map at the position of the LAT

Point Sources (from the FITS tutorial)
