TimeFromEpoch

class astropy.time.TimeFromEpoch(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)

Bases: astropy.time.TimeNumeric

Base class for times that represent the interval from a particular epoch as a floating point multiple of a unit time interval (e.g. seconds or days).

set_jds(val1, val2)

Initialize the internal jd1 and jd2 attributes given val1 and val2. For an TimeFromEpoch subclass like TimeUnix these will be floats giving the effective seconds since an epoch time (e.g. 1970-01-01 00:00:00).

to_value(parent=None, **kwargs)

Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. Subclasses that require parent or to adjust the jds should override this method.
