TimeUnix

class astropy.time.core.TimeUnix(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)

Bases: astropy.time.core.TimeFromEpoch

Unix time: seconds from 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

NOTE: this quantity is not exactly unix time and differs from the strict POSIX definition by up to 1 second on days with a leap second. POSIX unix time actually jumps backward by 1 second at midnight on leap second days while this class value is monotonically increasing at 86400 seconds per UTC day.
