Add MET conversion for Time.py #7

Open CoriFletcher-USRA opened 1 year ago

It would be nice to have an MET conversion in the Fermi time.py file.

Can you elaborate? We use astropy.Time to perform time conversions, and the Fermi MET is defined as a special epoch within time.py. For example, you can do the following to get the Fermi MET for the current time: from gdt.missions.fermi.time import Time Time.now().fermi

Similarly, a Time object can be created with any other time, and as long as you've done the above import, the conversion to fermi using .fermi is available to you.

@CoriFletcher-USRA can this be closed?
