coordinax

Coordinates in JAX

Coordinax enables calculations with coordinates in JAX. Built on Equinox and Quax.

Installation

pip install coordinax

Documentation

Coming soon. In the meantime, if you've used astropy.coordinates, then coordinax should be fairly intuitive.

Quick example

import jax.numpy as jnp
import unxt as u
import coordinax as cx

q = cx.CartesianPos3D(
    x=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(0, 10.0), "km"),
    y=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(5, 15.0), "km"),
    z=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(10, 20.0), "km"),
)
print(q)
# <CartesianPos3D (x[km], y[km], z[km])
#     [[ 0.  5. 10.]
#      [ 1.  6. 11.]
#      ...
#      [ 8. 13. 18.]
#      [ 9. 14. 19.]]>

q2 = cx.represent_as(q, cx.SphericalPos)
print(q2)
# <SphericalPos (r[km], theta[rad], phi[rad])
#     [[11.18   0.464  1.571]
#      [12.57   0.505  1.406]
#      ...
#      [23.601  0.703  1.019]
#      [25.259  0.719  0.999]]>

p = cx.CartesianVel3D(
    d_x=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(0, 10.0), "m/s"),
    d_y=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(5, 15.0), "m/s"),
    d_z=u.Quantity(jnp.arange(10, 20.0), "m/s"),
)
print(p)
# <CartesianVel3D (d_x[m / s], d_y[m / s], d_z[m / s])
#     [[ 0.  5. 10.]
#      [ 1.  6. 11.]
#      ...
#      [ 8. 13. 18.]
#      [ 9. 14. 19.]]>

p2 = cx.represent_as(p, cx.SphericalVel, q)
print(p2)
# <SphericalVel (d_r[m / s], d_theta[m rad / (km s)], d_phi[m rad / (km s)])
#     [[ 1.118e+01 -3.886e-16  0.000e+00]
#      [ 1.257e+01 -1.110e-16  0.000e+00]
#      ...
#      [ 2.360e+01  0.000e+00  0.000e+00]
#      [ 2.526e+01 -2.776e-16  0.000e+00]]>
