deg2sexa

mpdaf.obj.deg2sexa(x)

Transform equatorial coordinates from degrees to sexagesimal strings.

Parameters

xfloat array

Either a single coordinate in a 1D array like [dec, ra], or a 2D array of multiple (dec,ra) coordinates, ordered like [[dec1,ra1], [dec2,ra2], ...]. All coordinates must be in degrees.

Returns

outarray of strings

The array of dec,ra coordinates as sexagesimal strings, stored in an array of the same dimensions as the input array. Declination values are written like degrees:minutes:seconds. Right-ascension values are written like hours:minutes:seconds.
