adam_core.orbits.classification module

adam_core.orbits.classification.calc_orbit_class(elements: KeplerianCoordinates | CometaryCoordinates) → ndarray

Calculate the orbital class for each Keplerian or Cometary orbit.

Based on the classification scheme defined by the Planetary Data System Small Bodies Node (see: https://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/data_other/objclass.shtml).

TODO: Classification is currently limited to asteroid dynamical classes. Cometary class have not yet been implemented.

Parameters:

elements (KeplerianCoordinates or CometaryCoordinates) – Keplerian orbits for which to find classes.

Returns:

orbit_class – Class for each orbit.

Return type:

~numpy.ndarray
