Attributes Documentation

auto_download¶: Enable auto-downloading of the latest IERS data. If set to False then the local IERS-B file will be used by default (even if the full IERS file with predictions was already downloaded and cached). This parameter also controls whether internet resources will be queried to update the leap second table if the installed version is out of date. Default is True.

auto_max_age¶: Maximum age (days) of predictive data before auto-downloading. See “Auto refresh behavior” in astropy.utils.iers documentation for details. Default is 30.

iers_degraded_accuracy¶: IERS behavior if the range of available IERS data does not cover the times when converting time scales, potentially leading to degraded accuracy.

ietf_leap_second_auto_url¶: Alternate URL for auto-downloading leap seconds.
