unit_normalized

named_arrays.unit_normalized(a, unit_dimensionless=Unit(dimensionless), squeeze=True)

Isolate the physical units associated with a given object, normalizing to the given dimensionless units if the object does not have associated units.

Parameters:

• a (Any) – object to isolate the units of

• unit_dimensionless (float | UnitBase) – The unit to use for dimensionless objects.

• squeeze (bool) – If the result is an instance of named_arrays.AbstractVectorArray, and all the components are the same, simplify the result into a single astropy.units.Unit instance.

Return type:

UnitBase | AbstractArray

version of this function that by default returns None instead of astropy.units.dimensionless_unscaled if there is no unit associated with the given object.
