Struct Dt 

pub struct Dt {
    pub sec: i64,
    pub attos: u64,
}

Dt A high-precision instant or duration with attosecond resolution.

This is the core time type of the library. It represents both absolute instants and durations using the same compact representation, making it convenient anywhere precise time measurement or arithmetic is needed.

Representation

It stores:

• sec: i64 — whole seconds (signed).
• attos: u64 — fractional seconds in attoseconds (0 ≤ attos < 10¹⁸).
  • These always push the Dt towards the positive.

This gives a resolution of one attosecond while supporting a range of roughly ±292 billion years. An i128 was considered but decided against due to the difficulty of math without overflow.

There are many different ways to go to and from a Dt see the documentation for the full list of methods.

It implements Copy and Clone. Optional derives for serde and tsify are available behind the corresponding features.

Reference epoch and scales

When using the conversion functions Dt::to and Dt::from the epoch for all time scales is Dt::ZERO 2000-01-01 noon.

Many convenience constructors and accessors exist for common epochs (UNIX, GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, CXC, 1977 TT/TCG/TCB, etc.).

See the [Scale] documentation for the complete list of supported scales, leap-second handling, historical UTC models, relativistic coordinate times (TCG, TCB), and the lunar scales LTC / TCL (based on the LTE440 model).

Arithmetic and manipulation

Dt provides rich const-friendly arithmetic:

• Addition and subtraction of durations
• Multiplication and division by integers or Real (f64)
• floor, ceil, round to an arbitrary unit
• Many convenience increment/decrement methods (add_1ns, sub_ms, …)
• Signed difference via to_diff_raw

Relativistic proper-time corrections and clock-drift models are supported via convert_using_drift and related methods.

Notes

• Dt does not store a time scale internally. The scale is always an explicit parameter of conversion and construction methods.
• Leap-second handling follows the chosen Scale (UTC, UTCSpice, UTCSofa).

Fields

sec: i64

attos: u64

Implementations

impl Dt

pub fn from_str_parse(s: &str, opts: &Option<ParseCfg>) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

pub fn str_to_attos(s: &str, opts: &Option<ParseCfg>) -> Option<i128>

Same parsing logic as Dt::from_str, but returns attoseconds since the library epoch: 2000-01-01 12:00:00 UTC (on the UTC scale).

Returns Some(attos) on success (negative for pre-2000 dates) or None on any parse error.

pub fn str_to_ms(s: &str, opts: &Option<ParseCfg>) -> Option<i128>

Same parsing logic as Dt::from_str, but returns milliseconds since the library epoch: 2000-01-01 12:00:00 UTC (on the UTC scale).

Returns Some(millis) on success (negative for pre-2000 dates) or None on any parse error.

pub fn str_to_unix_ms(s: &str, opts: &Option<ParseCfg>) -> Option<i128>

Same parsing logic as Dt::from_str, but returns milliseconds since the UNIX epoch: (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).

Returns Some(millis) on success (negative for pre-2000 dates) or None on any parse error.

impl Dt

pub fn from_duration_str(s: &str, lang: Lang) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Parses duration strings with three clean priority tiers:

1. Strict ISO 8601
2. Common natural-language formats
3. Legacy bare number, supports decimals → fractional milliseconds

Returns a Dt.

pub fn natural_to_iso(s: &str, lang: Lang) -> Result<String, DtErr>

Converts a natural language duration into an ISO duration.

impl Dt

pub const WIRE_VERSION: u8 = 1

Current wire format version.

pub const WIRE_SIZE: usize = 17

Size of the canonical wire representation in bytes (17 bytes).

pub fn to_wire_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 17]

Serializes this Dt into a fixed 17-byte little-endian buffer.

Wire Format

• Byte 0: Version (WIRE_VERSION)
• Bytes [1..9]: sec as little-endian i64
• Bytes [9..17]: subsec as little-endian u64

This format is stable, portable, and suitable for network transmission, file storage, or FFI. The internal representation is always TAI.

pub fn from_wire_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Option<Self>

Deserializes a Dt from exactly 17 bytes of wire data.

Returns None if the version byte is unknown. Any subsec value ≥ 10¹⁸ is automatically normalized using carry_attos so the resulting Dt is always in canonical form.

Security

Safe to call with completely untrusted input. Fixed-size format, no allocation, no unsafe, and no possibility of code execution. Malicious data simply produces a normalized (but still valid) Dt.

pub const fn to_scale_and_then_diff(&self, to: Scale, epoch: Dt) -> Dt

Converts this instant to the target scale and returns the signed difference from the given epoch.

This is a low-level const fn used internally by higher-level conversion methods such as to_ymdhms_on.

Arguments

• to — The time scale to convert self into before computing the difference.
• epoch — The reference epoch (e.g. Dt::UNIX_EPOCH) from which the difference is calculated.

Returns

A Dt representing the signed difference (seconds + attoseconds) between this instant (after conversion to to) and the provided epoch.

The returned value is a signed offset relative to epoch in the to scale. While it is most commonly used as a pure duration, it can also be interpreted as a timestamp when epoch is something like Dt::UNIX_EPOCH (e.g. for generating Unix timestamps via .to_ms() or .to_sec()).

See also

• Dt::to_internal — the conversion step used internally.
• Dt::to_diff_raw — the raw difference method.
• Dt::from_diff_and_scale — the complementary operation.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let diff = dt.to_scale_and_then_diff(Scale::UTC, Dt::UNIX_EPOCH);

// diff can be used as a Unix timestamp offset
let unix_ms = diff.to_ms();
assert!(unix_ms > 1_700_000_000_000);

pub const fn from_diff_and_scale(diff: Dt, epoch: Dt, current: Scale) -> Self

Creates a TAI Dt by adding a difference to an epoch and interpreting the result on the given time scale.

This is the inverse-style counterpart to to_scale_and_then_diff and is used by from_ymdhms_on and related constructors.

Arguments

• diff — The signed difference (as a Dt) to add to the epoch.
• epoch — The reference epoch (commonly Dt::UNIX_EPOCH or Dt::ZERO).
• current — The time scale on which diff + epoch should be interpreted.

Returns

A Dt on the TAI scale representing the absolute instant epoch + diff when interpreted on current.

Notes

pub const fn from(sec: i64, attos: u64, current: Scale) -> Dt

Creates a TAI Dt.

• Assumes the given sec and attos are on the given scale.
• See Scale for more information on available time scales.

Example

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let dt = Dt::from(-32, 0, Scale::UTC);

// leap seconds were added to the `-32` UTC sec
// and the returned [`Dt`] is on the TAI scale
assert_eq!(dt.sec, 0);

pub const fn to_tai(&self, current: Scale) -> Dt

Converts this instant from the given scale into TAI.

This is a convenience wrapper around Dt::from that always returns a Dt on the TAI scale.

Arguments

• current — The time scale in which self is currently expressed.

Returns

A Dt representing the same instant on the TAI scale.

Notes

• The numerical sec and attos of self are assumed to be on current.
• This method is equivalent to Dt::from(self.sec, self.attos, current).

See also

• Dt::to — the general conversion method between any two scales.
• Dt::from — the underlying constructor.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let dt_utc = Dt::from_ymdhms(2024, 6, 15, 12, 0, 0, 0);
let dt_tai = dt_utc.to_tai(Scale::UTC);

assert_eq!(dt_tai.to_ymdhms(Scale::TAI).yr, 2024);

pub const fn to(&self, current: Scale, new: Scale) -> Dt

Converts this instant from one time scale to another.

This is the primary public method for converting between any two supported time scales (TAI, UTC, TT, TDB, GPS, TCG, LTC, etc.).

Arguments

• current — The time scale in which self is currently expressed.
• new — The target time scale to convert into.

Returns

A Dt representing the same physical instant on the new scale.

If current == new, this method returns *self without any computation.

Notes

• The numerical sec and attos of self are assumed to be on current.
• The returned Dt contains the correct sec and attos values for the new scale (the scale is never stored inside Dt).
• This method is const fn and performs no heap allocation.

See also

• Dt::to_tai — convenience method that always targets TAI.
• Dt::from — the underlying scale conversion logic.
• Dt::to_internal — the internal implementation (not public API).

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let dt_tai = Dt::from_ymdhms(2024, 6, 15, 12, 0, 0, 0);

// Convert from TAI to UTC
let dt_utc = dt_tai.to(Scale::TAI, Scale::UTC);
let ymd = dt_utc.to_ymdhms(Scale::UTC);

assert_eq!(ymd.yr, 2024);
assert_eq!(ymd.mo, 6);
assert_eq!(ymd.day, 15);

pub const fn convert_using_drift(self, reference: Self, drift: Drift) -> Self

Converts this instant to any other Scale while applying an exact quadratic relativistic or clock-drift correction defined by a Drift model relative to a reference instant.

pub const fn convert_back_using_drift( self, reference: Self, drift: Drift, ) -> Self

Performs the inverse conversion of Dt::convert_using_drift, recovering the original proper time on the source clock scale.

A fixed-point iteration (at most 16 steps) is used to solve the implicit equation. For the common case of a pure constant offset the function returns immediately without iteration.

impl Dt

pub const fn to_jyear(&self) -> Real

Returns the Julian epoch year.

pub const fn from_jyear(jyear: Real, scale: Scale) -> Self

Inverse of Self::to_jyear.

pub const fn to_byear(&self) -> Real

Returns the Besselian epoch year.

pub const fn from_byear(byear: Real, scale: Scale) -> Self

Inverse of Self::to_byear.

pub const fn to_decimalyear(&self, current: Scale) -> Real

Returns the decimal year (Gregorian calendar year + fraction of the year).

This is the direct equivalent of Astropy’s Time.decimalyear:

• Uses the actual length of the specific Gregorian year (365 or 366 days, plus any leap seconds on UTC/UTCSpice/etc.).
• Fully scale-aware (TAI, TT, UTC, TDB, custom clocks, …).
• Exact integer arithmetic for the year boundaries, then a high-precision to_sec_f division (lossy only at the final Real step, same as Astropy).

impl Dt

pub fn from_ccsds_str(input: &str) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

Generalized CCSDS ASCII Time Code parser (A or B variant). Handles both calendar (%Y-%m-%d) and day-of-year (%Y-%j) formats. All time components after the date portion are optional.

pub fn from_ccsds_ccs(input: &[u8]) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Parses a CCSDS CCS (Calendar Segmented Time Code) binary time code directly into TimeParts.

Implements CCSDS 301.0-B-4 §3.4 (Level 1 only).

P-field (exactly 1 byte)

• Bit 7: Extension flag → must be 0 (we reject extensions)
• Bits 6-4: Code ID = 101
• Bit 3: Calendar type (0 = Month/Day, 1 = Day-of-Year)
• Bits 2-0: Number of subsecond BCD octets (0–6)

T-field (BCD, big-endian)

• 2 bytes: Year (0001–9999)
• 2 bytes: Month+Day (01-12,01-31) or Day-of-Year (001–366)
• 3 bytes: Hour (00-23), Minute (00-59), Second (00-60)
• 0–6 bytes: Fractional seconds (exactly 2 decimal digits per byte)

Epoch: 1958-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (identical to CDS).

pub fn from_ccsds_c(input: &[u8]) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

Parses a CCSDS C (CUC – Unsegmented Time Code) binary time code directly into Dt.

This function implements CCSDS 301.0-B-4 §3.2 (Level 1 only) with full support for the extended P-field (second octet) as defined in the standard.

Supported formats (Level 1 only)

• 1-byte or 2-byte P-field (further extension beyond 2 bytes is rejected).
• Code ID must be 001 (1958-01-01 TAI epoch).
• Coarse time: 1–7 octets (base 1–4 from Octet 1 + up to 3 additional from Octet 2).
• Fractional time: 0–10 octets (base 0–3 from Octet 1 + up to 7 additional from Octet 2).

P-field decoding (when Bit 0 of Octet 1 = 1)

• Octet 2:
  • Bit 0: Further-extension flag (must be 0; we reject 3+-byte P-fields).
  • Bits 1-2: Additional coarse octets (0–3).
  • Bits 3-5: Additional fractional octets (0–7).
  • Bits 6-7: Reserved for mission definition (ignored).

Precision

Fractional seconds are converted to attoseconds with exact integer scaling (value / 2^(8·n_frac)). Larger n_frac gives higher resolution (down to ~2⁻⁸⁰ s with 10 fractional bytes).

Returns

A Dt with scale = TAI and tz = Utc.

Errors

• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinEmpty] if the input is empty.
• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinTooShort] if the input is too short for the declared P-field / T-field sizes or otherwise malformed.
• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinInvalidCodeId] if the Code ID is not 001.
• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinInvalidPFieldExtension] if the further-extension flag is set (3+ byte P-field, unsupported).

  • 01: 2 bytes (microseconds of the millisecond, 0–65535)
  • 10: 4 bytes (2⁻³² of the millisecond)

Precision

• With 2-byte sub-ms: maximum quantization error ≈ ±7.63 ns.
• With 4-byte sub-ms: maximum quantization error ≈ ±0.116 ps.

Returns

A Dt with timescale = Utc and tz = Utc.

Errors

• [DtErrKind::CCSDSBinEmpty] if the input is empty.

pub fn from_iso_duration(s: &str) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

pub fn looks_like_iso(s: &str) -> bool

Accepts: P1Y, -P2W, PT1.5H, P1DT2H30M, +P3D, p1y, P1,5S, PT0S, etc. Rejects: anything with whitespace, lone “P”/“-P”/“PT”, “P123”, “Please wait 5m”, “1.5h”, “P1Yabc”, “P1Y!”, or any string longer than 128 bytes.

impl Dt

pub const fn unix_sec_to_ymd(unix_sec: i64) -> (i64, u8, u8)

Converts a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) to a proleptic Gregorian date (year, month, day).

pub const fn to_gregorian_time(&self, current: Scale) -> GregorianTime

pub const fn to_ymdhms(&self, current: Scale) -> YmdHms

Returns the proleptic Gregorian date and wall-clock time for this instant,

• Converts to UTC before creating the YmdHms from whatever the provided current Scale is.
• See Dt::to_ymdhms for more info.

pub const fn to_ymdhms_on(&self, current: Scale, new: Scale) -> YmdHms

Returns the proleptic Gregorian date and wall-clock time for this instant, interpreted on the current time scale and expressed on the new time scale.

Arguments

• current — The time scale in which self is currently expressed.
• new — The time scale to convert to before creating the gregorian datetime.

To note:

If you created your Dt via Dt::from_ymd or other similar functions, then these effectively used UTC -> TAI when creating the Dt.

So, if you want to roundtrip when calling this function with such a Dt you’ll have to use the args (Scale::TAI, Scale::UTC).

Returns

A YmdHms containing:

• yr, mo, day — proleptic Gregorian calendar date
• hr (0–23), min (0–59), sec (0–60)
• attos — fractional second in attoseconds (0 ≤ attos < 10¹⁸)
• unix_attosec — total attoseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) when this instant is expressed in the new scale

Leap-second handling

If new is one of the scales that use leap seconds (UTC, UTCSpice, or UTCSofa) and the instant falls exactly on a leap second, the returned sec will be 60. In every other case sec is in the range 0..=59.

The implementation converts internally to TAI before checking leap-second status, ensuring correct detection regardless of the input scale.

See also

• Dt::to_ymdhms — convenience wrapper that always targets Scale::UTC.
• Dt::from_ymdhms_on — the inverse operation.

Examples

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

// `from_ymdhms` always returns a TAI instant
let dt = Dt::from_ymdhms(2024, 6, 15, 12, 30, 45, 0);
let ymd = dt.to_ymdhms_on(Scale::TAI, Scale::UTC);

assert_eq!(ymd.yr, 2024);

pub const fn jdn_to_ymd(jdn: i64) -> (i64, u8, u8)

Converts a Julian Day Number (JDN) to a proleptic Gregorian calendar date.

• Returns (year, month, day) where month ∈ [1, 12] and day ∈ [1, 31] (standard 1-based Gregorian values).
• This is the inverse of Dt::ymd_to_jdn.
• Supports the full i64 range, including negative years and year zero.

pub const fn ymd_to_jdn(yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8) -> i64

Computes the Julian Day Number (JDN) for a proleptic Gregorian calendar date at noon UT. This is the inverse of [jdn_to_ymd].

Arguments

• yr - Year (any i64; proleptic Gregorian)
• mo - Month (1-based: 1 = January, 2 = February, …, 12 = December)
• day - Day of the month (1-based: 1 = first day of the month)

The algorithm matches the standard astronomical convention used throughout the library (ymd_to_jdn(2000, 1, 1) == 2451545).

Notes

• This function expects 1 based mo and day. Passing mo = 0 or day = 0 (or other out-of-range values) will produce incorrect results as this function does not perform value clamping.
• The result is the integer JDN corresponding to noon on the given date.

pub const fn is_leap_yr(yr: i64) -> bool

Returns true if the given year is a Gregorian leap year under proleptic rules.

pub const fn from_ymdhms_on( yr: i64, mo: u8, day: u8, hr: u8, min: u8, sec: u8, attos: u64, scale: Scale, ) -> Self

Creates a TAI Dt from a proleptic gregorian date which is assumed to be on the provided time scale.

• Equivalent to Dt::from for the provided date.
• Returned Dt will be on the TAI time scale.

All input components are clamped to their valid ranges:

• mo → 1..=12 1 based
• day → 1..=31 1 based
• hr → 0..=23 0 based
• min → 0..=59 0 based
• sec → 0..=60 0 based (permits leap seconds)
• attos → values ≥ 10¹⁸ are carried into the seconds field

Notes:

• Does not perform validation on leap seconds. If 60 seconds are provided then an extra second will be added to the resulting Dt.

Sunday-based week number (%U in strftime).

Range: 0..=53.

• Week 0 contains the days before the first Sunday of the year.
• Week 1 begins on the first Sunday of the year.

The optional ymd and doy arguments are performance optimisations (same pattern used throughout the file for day_of_year, to_iso_wk_date, etc.). Pass whichever you already have; the function will use the fastest path.

• iso_week is the week number in the range 1..=53,
• weekday is a Weekday value (Monday-based week).

Follows the ISO 8601 standard: weeks start on Monday and week 1 is the week containing January 4.

The optional ymd argument is a performance optimization. If provided, it is used directly; otherwise to_gregorian_ymd is called internally.

• %Q / %:Q → full IANA timezone name (e.g. America/New_York)
• %Z → timezone abbreviation (e.g. EDT). These do not round-trip.
• %z / %:z → numeric offset

This is the convenient alloc version of Self::to_str_bin_with_tz.

impl Dt

pub fn to_str_bin( &self, current: Scale, fmt: &str, ) -> Result<AsciiStr<STRFTIME_SIZE>, DtErr>

The datetime is first converted to Gregorian civil time on the given current scale, UTC (offset = 0, no timezone abbreviation or IANA name). This is the simplest no-alloc formatter.

Errors

Returns DtErr if the format string contains invalid specifiers or if the internal formatting buffer overflows (extremely unlikely with STRFTIME_SIZE).

pub fn to_str_bin_with_offset( &self, current: Scale, fmt: &str, secs: i32, ) -> Result<AsciiStr<STRFTIME_SIZE>, DtErr>

Formats this Dt into a fixed-size ASCII string without any heap allocation, applying a fixed UTC offset.

• The civil time is adjusted by the given secs offset before formatting, and the offset is stored so that %z / %:z directives will reflect it.
• No IANA timezone name or abbreviation is set.

pub fn to_str_bin_with_tz( &self, current: Scale, fmt: &str, tz_name: &str, ) -> Result<AsciiStr<STRFTIME_SIZE>, DtErr>

Formats this Dt into a fixed-size ASCII string without any heap allocation, adjusting to the given IANA timezone.

This performs a correct UTC-based lookup in the IANA transition table, so the resulting GregorianTime contains:

• accurate civil time
• correct numeric offset (for %z / %:z)
• timezone abbreviation (for %Z). These do not round-trip.
• full IANA timezone name (for %Q / %:Q)

Use this method when you want full IANA-aware formatting (%Q, %Z, %z, etc.).

pub fn to_u8_with_offset( &self, current: Scale, fmt: &str, dest: &mut [u8], secs: i32, ) -> Result<usize, DtErr>

Low-level no-alloc formatter that writes into a caller-provided slice, using a fixed UTC offset.

Same logic as Self::to_str_bin_with_offset, but writes directly into dest (truncated to dest.len()) and returns the number of bytes written.

pub fn to_u8_with_tz( &self, current: Scale, fmt: &str, dest: &mut [u8], tz_name: &str, ) -> Result<usize, DtErr>

Low-level no-alloc formatter that writes into a caller-provided slice, using a full IANA timezone.

Same logic as Self::to_str_bin_with_tz, but writes directly into dest (truncated to dest.len()) and returns the number of bytes written.

pub const fn sec_as_hhmm(seconds: i32) -> (bool, u8, u8)

Returns (is_negative, hours, minutes).

impl Dt

pub fn proper_time_from_states<I>( samples: I, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Velocity, Real)>,

Computes the relativistic clock drift (proper time minus coordinate time) over an interval.

This returns how much a physical clock has gained or lost time compared with coordinate time between start and end.

• A positive result means the onboard clock ran fast.
• A negative result means the onboard clock ran slow.

Parameters

• start: Starting coordinate time of the interval.
• end: Ending coordinate time of the interval.
• states: Iterator of physical states. Coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure the provided states cover the time range from start to end. The function integrates proper time over whatever states are supplied and subtracts the requested coordinate interval (end - start). Exact matching of the first and last state times to start and end is not validated.
• characteristic_length_scale: See [proper_time_from_states].

Returns

Ok(drift) — the accumulated drift (Δτ − Δt) as a Dt.

Err(DtErr) — if the states are not monotonically increasing in time.

pub fn proper_time_drift_from_states<I>( start: Dt, end: Dt, states: I, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> Result<Dt, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Velocity, Real)>,

Computes the relativistic clock drift (proper time minus coordinate time) over an interval.

This returns how much a physical clock has gained or lost time compared with coordinate time between start and end.

• A positive result means the onboard clock ran fast.
• A negative result means the onboard clock ran slow.

Parameters

• start: Starting coordinate time.
• end: Ending coordinate time.
• states: Iterator of physical states covering the interval. Coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure the states span the requested interval (exact first/last time matching is not checked).
• characteristic_length_scale: See [proper_time_from_states].

Returns

Ok(drift) — the accumulated drift (Δτ − Δt) as a Dt.

Err(DtErr) — if the states are not monotonically increasing in time.

pub fn proper_time_from_path<I>(path: I) -> Result<Self, DtErr>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = (Self, Spacetime)>,

Computes accumulated proper time along an arbitrary trajectory.

This is the core integration function of the library. It walks the supplied path segment by segment and applies the trapezoidal rule to the instantaneous proper-time rate at each step.

This approach is commonly used when integrating clock rates along sampled trajectories in astrodynamics and high-precision timing work.

The function enforces that coordinate times are monotonically non-decreasing. It performs a single pass with no heap allocation.

Parameters

• path: An iterator of (coordinate_time, Spacetime) pairs. Coordinate times must be monotonically non-decreasing.

Returns

Ok(total_proper_time) — the accumulated proper time as a Dt.

Err(DtErr) — if the path is empty or contains any decrease in coordinate time.

pub const fn proper_time_between_constant_rate( self, end: Dt, dtau_dt: Real, ) -> Dt

Computes proper time advance over an interval when the rate is constant.

Use this for segments where conditions do not change, such as a ground station, a circular orbit, or a deep-space cruise phase with constant velocity and gravitational potential.

This is mathematically equivalent to integrating a constant rate but is more efficient and expresses intent clearly.

Parameters

• end: Ending coordinate time.
• dtau_dt: Constant proper-time rate (dimensionless, usually between 0 and 1).

Returns

The accumulated proper time advance as a Dt.

• Default = 9 digits (nanoseconds) but automatically trims trailing zeros.
• If fractional part is zero → no decimal point at all (e.g. ...45Z).

impl Dt

pub const fn to_msd(&self, current: Scale) -> (i64, u128)

Returns the exact Mars Sol Date (MSD) as a tuple of integer sols and the fractional part of a sol.

• The computation follows the canonical NASA GISS / AM2000 formulation and works for any input Scale.
• Leap seconds are automatically accounted for when converting from UTC.

pub const fn to_mtc(&self, current: Scale) -> Dt

Returns Mars Coordinated Time (MTC) as a Dt representing seconds into the current sol (range [0, one Martian sol)).

pub const fn to_mars_ls(&self, current: Scale) -> Real

Returns the Areocentric Solar Longitude Ls in degrees (range [0, 360)).

Ls is the angular position of the Sun as measured eastward from the Martian vernal equinox in Mars’s orbital plane. It is the standard index of Martian seasonal progression used in all mission planning, science operations, and atmospheric modeling. Due to orbital eccentricity, northern spring + summer last ~381 Earth days while autumn + winter last ~306 Earth days.

• Ls = 0° → northern vernal equinox (northern spring begins)
• Ls = 90° → northern summer solstice
• Ls = 180° → northern autumnal equinox
• Ls = 270° → northern winter solstice

Exactly reproduces the short-series analytic model (B-1 through B-5) used by the current NASA GISS Mars24 Sunclock algorithm, which is based on Allison & McEwen (2000) with the seven largest planetary perturbations.

Works for any input Scale because it internally converts to TT.

pub const fn to_mars_lmst(&self, current: Scale, east_longitude_deg: Real) -> Dt

Returns Local Mean Solar Time (LMST) at the given planetocentric east longitude as a Dt representing seconds into the current Martian sol (range [0, one sol)).

LMST is the uniform mean solar time adjusted for longitude.

Longitude is east-positive (standard planetocentric convention, 0–360° E). Internally converts to TT and uses the current NASA GISS Mars24 definition of MST.

LTST is the actual sundial time (true solar time) at the location — what a local observer would see on a sundial. It equals LMST plus the Equation of Time.

Longitude is east-positive (standard planetocentric convention, 0–360° E).

pub const fn to_mars_year(&self, current: Scale) -> i64

Returns the integer Mars Year (MY) for this instant.

Mars Year numbering follows the standard Clancy et al. (2000) system:

• Mars Year 1 begins at the northern vernal equinox (Ls = 0°) on 1955 April 11.
• Each Mars Year is one tropical year on Mars (686.9725 Earth days).
• Current missions operate in Mars Year 36–37 (as of 2026).

This is the canonical year count used in all Mars science literature, mission reports, and atmospheric databases.

Source: Clancy et al. (2000), J. Geophys. Res.: Planets 105(E4), 9553–9572; confirmed in NASA GISS Mars24 Technical Notes (2025) and LMD Mars Climate Database.

impl Dt

pub fn to_hifitime(&self, current: Scale) -> Epoch

Round-trips perfectly with [Dt::from_hifitime].

pub fn to_hifitime_duration(&self) -> Duration

Converts this Span to a hifitime::Duration (nanosecond precision).

• Sub-nanosecond attoseconds are truncated toward zero.
• The conversion is fully exact up to the nanosecond (128-bit integer arithmetic).
• Internally uses hifitime::Duration::from_total_nanoseconds, which automatically normalizes centuries/nanoseconds and saturates at Duration::MAX / Duration::MIN if outside hifitime’s range (±32,768 centuries).

pub fn from_hifitime_epoch(epoch: Epoch) -> Self

Creates a Dt from a hifitime::Epoch.

• The conversion is exact (within hifitime’s nanosecond precision).
• Uses a runtime-computed offset so it always matches whatever calendar math hifitime uses (including negative years).

pub fn from_hifitime_duration(dur: Duration) -> Self

Creates a Dt from a hifitime::Duration (nanosecond precision).

This is the exact reverse of Dt::to_hifitime_duration.

pub fn to_chrono_duration(&self) -> Duration

Converts this Dt to a chrono::Duration (nanosecond precision).

• Sub-nanosecond attoseconds are truncated toward zero.

• Sub-nanosecond attoseconds are truncated toward zero.
• Supports the entire range of Span (never saturates).

Creates a Dt from a jiff::Timestamp.

This is the inverse of Dt::to_jiff_timestamp.

pub fn from_jiff_signed_duration(dur: SignedDuration) -> Self

impl Dt

pub const SHAPIRO_SOLAR: Self

Shapiro gravitational time scale for the Sun (2 G M_☉ / c³).

Recommended value for the Sun when building the bodies slice passed to ObserverState::shapiro_delay, ObserverState::shapiro_delay, and related methods.

pub const fn shapiro_from_grav_param(gm: Real) -> Self

Creates the Shapiro delay scale for an arbitrary central body from its standard gravitational parameter GM (μ) in m³ s⁻².

This produces the coefficient used in the Shapiro gravitational time delay formula. It is the recommended way to create a custom Shapiro scale for planets, stars, or other massive bodies.

The returned value is intended to be used for the bodies parameter when calling ObserverState::shapiro_delay or ObserverState::shapiro_delay.

pub const fn to_observer_state( self, position: Position, velocity: Velocity, grav_potential_m2_s2: Real, characteristic_length_scale: Real, ) -> ObserverState

Creates an ObserverState using this time value along with the provided position, velocity, and gravitational information.

An ObserverState represents a complete snapshot of an observer (spacecraft, ground station, planet, etc.) at a specific moment. It bundles together the time, position, velocity, and local gravitational environment so that relativistic calculations (light time, clock rates, Shapiro delay, etc.) can be performed.

This method is a convenience constructor. It is useful when you already have a Dt (a time value) and want to build an ObserverState directly from it, rather than calling ObserverState::new or [ObserverState::new_strong_field].

Parameters

• position: The observer’s position in meters (typically expressed in a barycentric or heliocentric frame).
• velocity: The observer’s velocity in meters per second.
• grav_potential_m2_s2: The total Newtonian gravitational potential (Φ) at the observer’s location, in m²/s². This is usually negative for bound orbits and is the sum of contributions from the Sun and planets.
• characteristic_length_scale: A length scale (in meters) over which gravity varies significantly at this location. Use 0.0 for normal solar-system and weak-field cases. Only provide a non-zero value when working in strong gravitational fields.

When to use this method

Use this method when you already have a time value as a Dt and want to construct an ObserverState in one step. It is especially convenient when working with time values that were previously computed or converted.

For most normal use, ObserverState::new is simpler. Use [ObserverState::new_strong_field] instead if you need to specify a non-zero characteristic_length_scale.

Example

let t = Dt::from_sec(1234.5);

let state = t.to_observer_state(
    position,
    velocity,
    grav_potential,
    0.0, // normal solar-system use
);

impl Dt

pub const fn every(self, step: Dt) -> Every

Starts building an evenly-spaced time range.

This method returns an Every builder that can be chained with .until(end) or .up_to(end) to create a TimeRange iterator.

Example

use deep_time::{Dt, Scale};

let start = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 1);
let end = Dt::from_ymd(2000, 1, 2);
let step = Dt::from_hr(1, Scale::TAI);

for timestamp in start.every(step).to_including(end) {
    println!("{:?}", timestamp.to_ymdhms(Scale::TAI));
}

pub const fn range(self, end: Dt, step: Dt) -> TimeRange

Creates an exclusive evenly-spaced range from self to end.

Equivalent to self.every(step).up_to(end).

pub const fn every_sec(self) -> Every

Creates a range stepping by whole seconds.

pub const fn every_min(self) -> Every

Creates a range stepping by whole minutes.

pub const fn every_hr(self) -> Every

Creates a range stepping by whole hours.

pub const fn every_day(self) -> Every

Creates a range stepping by whole days.

pub fn next_n(self, n: usize, step: Dt) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = Dt>

Returns the next n points after self (exclusive of self) at the given step.

This is a convenient way to get future points without including the start.

pub fn for_n_steps( self, n: usize, step: Dt, ) -> impl ExactSizeIterator<Item = Dt>

Returns an iterator yielding exactly n evenly spaced points starting from self.

This is a convenient one-liner for the common “next N steps” pattern.

An [`i128`] was considered but decided against\n * due to the difficulty of math without overflow.\n *\n * There are many different ways to go to and from a `Dt` see the [`documentation`](../struct.Dt.html)\n * for the full list of methods.\n *\n * It implements `Copy` and `Clone`. Optional derives for `serde` and\n * `tsify` are available behind the corresponding features.\n *\n * ## Reference epoch and scales\n *\n * When using the conversion functions [`Dt::to`] and [`Dt::from`] the\n * epoch for **all** time scales is [`Dt::ZERO`] 2000-01-01 noon.\n *\n * Many convenience constructors and accessors exist for common epochs\n * (UNIX, GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, CXC, 1977 TT/TCG/TCB, etc.).\n *\n * See the [`Scale`] documentation for the complete list of supported scales,\n * leap-second handling, historical UTC models, relativistic coordinate times\n * (TCG, TCB), and the lunar scales LTC / TCL (based on the LTE440 model).\n *\n * ## Arithmetic and manipulation\n *\n * `Dt` provides rich const-friendly arithmetic:\n *\n * - Addition and subtraction of durations\n * - Multiplication and division by integers or `Real` (f64)\n * - `floor`, `ceil`, `round` to an arbitrary unit\n * - Many convenience increment/decrement methods (`add_1ns`, `sub_ms`, \u{2026})\n * - Signed difference via [`to_diff_raw`](Self::to_diff_raw)\n *\n * Relativistic proper-time corrections and clock-drift models are supported\n * via [`convert_using_drift`](Self::convert_using_drift) and related methods.\n *\n * ## Notes\n *\n * - `Dt` does **not** store a time scale internally. The scale is always\n * an explicit parameter of conversion and construction methods.\n * - Leap-second handling follows the chosen `Scale` (UTC, UTCSpice, UTCSofa).\n */\nexport interface Dt {\n sec: number;\n attos: number;\n}"
