[docs]class Galactic(BaseCoordinateFrame):
"""
A coordinate or frame in the Galactic coordinate system.
This frame is used in a variety of Galactic contexts because it has as its
x-y plane the plane of the Milky Way. The positive x direction (i.e., the
l=0, b=0 direction) points to the center of the Milky Way and the z-axis
points toward the North Galactic Pole (following the IAU's 1958 definition
[1]_). However, unlike the `~astropy.coordinates.Galactocentric` frame, the
*origin* of this frame in 3D space is the solar system barycenter, not
the center of the Milky Way.
Parameters
----------
representation : `BaseRepresentation` or None
A representation object or None to have no data (or use the other keywords)
l : `Angle`, optional, must be keyword
The Galactic longitude for this object (``b`` must also be given and
``representation`` must be None).
b : `Angle`, optional, must be keyword
The Galactic latitude for this object (``l`` must also be given and
``representation`` must be None).
distance : `~astropy.units.Quantity`, optional, must be keyword
The Distance for this object along the line-of-sight.
pm_l_cosb : :class:`~astropy.units.Quantity`, optional, must be keyword
The proper motion in Galactic longitude (including the ``cos(b)`` term)
for this object (``pm_b`` must also be given).
pm_b : :class:`~astropy.units.Quantity`, optional, must be keyword
The proper motion in Galactic latitude for this object (``pm_l_cosb``
must also be given).
radial_velocity : :class:`~astropy.units.Quantity`, optional, must be keyword
The radial velocity of this object.
copy : bool, optional
If `True` (default), make copies of the input coordinate arrays.
Can only be passed in as a keyword argument.
differential_cls : `BaseDifferential`, dict, optional
A differential class or dictionary of differential classes (currently
only a velocity differential with key 's' is supported). This sets
the expected input differential class, thereby changing the expected
keyword arguments of the data passed in. For example, passing
``differential_cls=CartesianDifferential`` will make the classes
expect velocity data with the argument names ``v_x, v_y, v_z``.
