grss.fit.fit_radar.add_radar_obs(obs_df, t_min_tdb=None, t_max_tdb=None, verbose=False)#

Get radar observations from JPL small-body radar API entry for a desired small body and assemble the radar observations for the given body into an array for an orbit fit.

Parameters:
  • obs_df (pandas DataFrame) – Optical observation data for the given body

  • t_min_tdb (float, optional) – Minimum time (MJD TDB) for observations to be included, by default None

  • t_max_tdb (float, optional) – Maximum time (MJD TDB) for observations to be included, by default None

  • verbose (bool, optional) – Flag to print out information about the observations, by default False

Returns:

obs_df – Radar+Optical observation data for the given body

Return type:

pandas DataFrame

Raises:

ValueError – If the observation type is not recognized
