The name of the time format

classmethod fill_value(subfmt)¶

Return a value corresponding to J2000 (2000-01-01 12:00:00) in this format.

This is used as a fill value for masked arrays to ensure that any ERFA operations on the masked array will not fail due to the masked value.

set_jds(val1, val2)¶: Convert burst number contained in val1 to jd1, jd2

to_value(parent=None, out_subfmt=None)¶: Convert to string representation of GBM burst number
