Writing a Table with a SkyCoord mixin fails when SkyCoord is created from a list of SkyCoord #6446
Description
This fails:
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.table import Table
c1 = SkyCoord(1, 3, unit='deg')
c2 = SkyCoord(2, 4, unit='deg')
sc1 = SkyCoord([c1, c2])
t = Table([sc1])
t.write('mixin.ecsv', format='ascii.ecsv', overwrite=True)But this works fine:
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.table import Table
sc2 = SkyCoord([1, 2], [3, 4], unit='deg')
t2 = Table([sc2])
t2.write('mixin.ecsv', format='ascii.ecsv', overwrite=True)So, sc1 and sc2 are different(!) in some way for the Table writer. I tracked this down to
sc1 somehow having its galcen_v_sun attribute set(?!):
>>> sc1.galcen_v_sun
<CartesianDifferential (d_x, d_y, d_z) in km / s
( 11.1, 232.24, 7.25)>
>>> sc2.galcen_v_sunSo it appears that the Table writer cannot serialize SkyCoord objects with galcen_v_sun attributes, and I don't know why this attribute is set when initializing a SkyCoord object from a list of SkyCoord objects. Are these both bugs?
Here's the traceback for the first example, showing the galcen_v_sun values in the raised error message
(RepresenterError: cannot represent an object: ( 11.1, 232.24, 7.25) km / s):
