Member Function Documentation

◆ computeTransMatrix()

void Planet::computeTransMatrix ( double  JD,
double  JDE 
)

This requires both flavours of JD in cases involving Earth.

◆ ensureObjLoaded()

bool Planet::ensureObjLoaded ( )
protected

Returns true when the OBJ is ready to draw

◆ getEquatorialRadius()

double Planet::getEquatorialRadius ( void  ) const
inline
Returns
the equator radius of the planet in astronomical units.

◆ getHeliocentricPos()

Vec3d Planet::getHeliocentricPos ( Vec3d  p) const
  • p planetocentric rectangular ecliptical coordinate (J2000)
    Returns
    heliocentric rectangular ecliptical coordinates (J2000)

◆ getID()

virtual QString Planet::getID ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

The ID should be unique for all objects of the same type, but may freely conflict with IDs of other types, so getType() must also be tested.

With this it should be possible to at least identify the same object in a different instance of Stellarium running the same version, but it would even be better if the ID provides some degree of forward-compatibility. For some object types (e.g. planets) this may simply return getEnglishName(), but better candidates may be official designations or at least (stable) internal IDs.

An object may have multiple IDs (different catalog numbers, etc). StelObjectMgr::searchByID() should search through all ID variants, but this method only returns one of them.

Implements StelObject.

◆ getInfoMap()

virtual QVariantMap Planet::getInfoMap ( const StelCore core) const
virtual
  • distance
  • phase (result of getPhase)
  • illumination (=100*phase)
  • phase-angle
  • phase-angle-dms (formatted string)
  • phase-angle-deg (formatted string)
  • elongation
  • elongation-dms (formatted string)
  • elongation-deg (formatted string)
  • type (object type description)
  • velocity (formatted string)
  • heliocentric-velocity (formatted string)
  • scale
  • eclipse-obscuration (for Sun only)
  • eclipse-magnitude (for Sun only)

Reimplemented from StelObject.

Reimplemented in Comet.

◆ getInfoString()

virtual QString Planet::getInfoString ( const StelCore core,
const InfoStringGroup &  flags 
) const
virtual

Planets support the following InfoStringGroup flags:

  • Name
  • Magnitude
  • RaDec
  • AltAzi
  • Distance
  • Size
  • PlainText
  • Extra: Heliocentric Ecliptical Coordinates & Observer-planetocentric Ecliptical Coordinates, Phase, illumination, phase angle & elongation from the Sun
    Note
    subclasses should prefer to override only the component infostrings getInfoString...(), not this method!
    Parameters
    corethe StelCore object
    flagsa set of InfoStringGroup items to include in the return value.
    Returns
    a QString containing an HMTL encoded description of the Planet.

Implements StelObject.

◆ getMeanOppositionMagnitude()

float Planet::getMeanOppositionMagnitude ( ) const

◆ getPAsun()

static float Planet::getPAsun ( const Vec3d sunPos,
const Vec3d objPos 
)
static

E.g. if both are equatorial for equinox of date or J2000, the angle is zero when the bright limb is towards the north of the disk. An angle of 90° indicates a bright limb on the eastern limb, like an old moon. Source: Meeus, Astr.Algorithms (2nd ed.), 48.5.

◆ getPolarRadius()

double Planet::getPolarRadius ( void  ) const
inline
Returns
the polar radius of the planet in astronomical units.

◆ getSiderealTime()

double Planet::getSiderealTime ( double  JD,
double  JDE 
) const

For general applicability we need both time flavours:

Parameters
JDis JD(UT) for Earth
JDEis used for other locations

◆ setHeliocentricEclipticPos()

void Planet::setHeliocentricEclipticPos ( const Vec3d pos)
  • pos heliocentric rectangular ecliptical coordinate (J2000)

◆ translateName()

virtual void Planet::translateName ( const StelTranslator trans)
virtual

Translate planet name using the passed translator

Reimplemented in Comet, and MinorPlanet.
