Bases:
IERS_A
Provide most-recent IERS data and automatically handle downloading of updated values as necessary.
The returned table combines the IERS-A and IERS-B files, with the data in the IERS-B file considered to be official values and thus superseding values from the IERS-A file at the same times.

If the configuration setting
astropy.utils.iers.conf.auto_download
is set to True (default), then open a recent version of the IERS-A table with predictions for UT1-UTC and polar motion out to approximately one year from now. If the available version of this file is older thanastropy.utils.iers.conf.auto_max_age
days old (or non-existent) then it will be downloaded over the network and cached.If the configuration setting
astropy.utils.iers.conf.auto_download
is set to False then the bundled IERS-A table will be used rather than any downloaded version of the IERS-A table.On the first call in a session, the table will be memoized (in the
iers_table
class attribute), and further calls toopen
will return this stored table.- Returns:
