  Attributes Documentation

  auto_download

    Enable auto-downloading of the latest IERS-A data. If set to False then the bundled IERS-A file will be used by default (even if a newer version of the IERS-A file was previously downloaded and cached).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also controls whether internet resources will be queried to update the leap second table if the installed version is out of date.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_auto_url

    URL for auto-downloading IERS file data.

  iers_auto_url_mirror

    Mirror URL for auto-downloading IERS file data.

  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. Applies only when using IERS-B data on its own.

  iers_leap_second_auto_url

    URL for auto-downloading leap seconds.

  ietf_leap_second_auto_url

    Alternate URL for auto-downloading leap seconds.

  remote_timeout
