get_images(coordinates, *, image_size=<Quantity 1. arcmin>, get_query_payload=False)[source]

Fetches image cutouts from FIRST survey.

Parameters:
coordinatesstr or astropy.coordinates object

The target around which to search. It may be specified as a string in which case it is resolved using online services or as the appropriate astropy.coordinates object. ICRS coordinates may also be entered as strings as specified in the astropy.coordinates module.

image_sizestr or Quantity object, optional

The string must be parsable by astropy.coordinates.Angle. The appropriate Quantity object from astropy.units may also be used. Specifies the symmetric size of the image. Defaults to 1 arcmin.

maximsizeint, optional

Specify the maximum image size (in pixels on each dimension) that will be returned. Max is 2048.

get_query_payloadbool, optional

if set to True then returns the dictionary sent as the HTTP request. Defaults to False

Returns:
A list of HDUList objects
