ObjectBase

public protocol ObjectBase

Base protocol used by all types of astronomical objects considered in SwiftAA, planets, moons, the Earth, the Sun etc.

  • The julian day at which one considers the object.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var julianDay: JulianDay { get }

  • A boolean indicating whether high precision (i.e. VSOP87 theory) must be used.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var highPrecision: Bool { get }
    Show on GitHub

  • The object name

    Declaration

    Swift

    var name: String { get }
    Show on GitHub

  • Creates an object instance

    Declaration

    Swift

    init(julianDay: JulianDay, highPrecision: Bool)

    Parameters

    julianDay

    The julian day at which one will consider the object
    highPrecision

    If true (default), the VSOP87 theory is used when relevant to increase precision significantly. Is probably computationally slower compared to low-precision algorithms.
