# Pix2Sky_CylindricalEqualArea

class astropy.modeling.projections.Pix2Sky_CylindricalEqualArea(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `Pix2SkyProjection`, `Cylindrical`

  Cylindrical equal area projection - pixel to sky.

  Corresponds to the `CEA` projection in FITS WCS.

  \[\begin{split}\phi &= x \\ \theta &= \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}\lambda y\right)\end{split}\]
  Parameters:
    lam `python:float`

      Radius of the cylinder in spherical radii, λ. Default is 1.

  Attributes Summary

  `lam` |
  `param_names` | Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

  Attributes Documentation

  lam = _ParameterDS('lam', value=1.0)
  param_names = ('lam',)

    Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

    The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

    When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the `Parameter` attributes defined in the class body.
