A list with `~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.world_n_dim` elements giving information

`~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.world_axis_object_classes`. Note that names might
appear twice because two world arrays might correspond to a single
world object (e.g. a celestial coordinate might have both “ra” and
“dec” arrays, which correspond to a single sky coordinate object).
* The second element is either a string keyword argument name or a
positional index for the corresponding class from
`~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.world_axis_object_classes`.
* The third argument is a string giving the name of the property
to access on the corresponding class from

order to get numerical values. Alternatively, this argument can be a
callable Python object that takes a high-level coordinate object and

def world_axis_object_classes(self):
"""
A dictionary giving information on constructing high-level objects for
the world coordinates.
Each key of the dictionary is a string key from
`~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.world_axis_object_components`, and each value is a
tuple with three elements or four elements:
* The first element of the tuple must be a class or a string specifying
the fully-qualified name of a class, which will specify the actual
Python object to be created.
* The second element, should be a tuple specifying the positional
arguments required to initialize the class. If
`~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.world_axis_object_components` specifies that the
world coordinates should be passed as a positional argument, this this
tuple should include `None` placeholders for the world coordinates.
* The third tuple element must be a dictionary with the keyword
arguments required to initialize the class.
* Optionally, for advanced use cases, the fourth element (if present)
should be a callable Python object that gets called instead of the
class and gets passed the positional and keyword arguments. It should
return an object of the type of the first element in the tuple.
Note that we don't require the classes to be Astropy classes since there
is no guarantee that Astropy will have all the classes to represent all
kinds of world coordinates. Furthermore, we recommend that the output be
kept as human-readable as possible.
The classes used here should have the ability to do conversions by
passing an instance as the first argument to the same class with
different arguments (e.g. ``Time(Time(...), scale='tai')``). This is
a requirement for the implementation of the high-level interface.
The second and third tuple elements for each value of this dictionary
can in turn contain either instances of classes, or if necessary can
contain serialized versions that should take the same form as the main
classes described above (a tuple with three elements with the fully
qualified name of the class, then the positional arguments and the
keyword arguments). For low-level API objects implemented in Python, we
recommend simply returning the actual objects (not the serialized form)
for optimal performance. Implementations should either always or never
use serialized classes to represent Python objects, and should indicate
which of these they follow using the
`~astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS.serialized_classes` attribute.
