Attributes Documentation

masked_array_type#: The type of masked array used for masked output data. Can be “astropy” for astropy.utils.masked.Masked or “numpy” to use numpy.ma.MaskedArray. Note that if astropy.units.Quantity is produced, the output always uses astropy.utils.masked.Masked, since numpy.ma.MaskedArray does not work with quantities.

use_fast_parser#: Use fast C parser for supported time strings formats, including ISO, ISOT, and YearDayTime. Allowed values are the ‘False’ (use Python parser),’True’ (use C parser and fall through to Python parser if fails), and ‘force’ (use C parser and raise exception if it fails). Note that theoptions are all strings.
