        A subclass of `~astropy.coordinates.BaseRepresentation` that will be
        treated as the default representation of this frame.  This is the
        representation assumed by default when the frame is created.

        treated as the default differential class of this frame.  This is the
        differential class assumed by default when the frame is created.

    * `~astropy.coordinates.Attribute` class attributes
       Frame attributes such as ``FK4.equinox`` or ``FK4.obstime`` are defined
       using a descriptor class.  See the narrative documentation or
       built-in classes code for details.

    * `frame_specific_representation_info`
        A dictionary mapping the name or class of a representation to a list of
        `~astropy.coordinates.RepresentationMapping` objects that tell what
        names and default units should be used on this frame for the components
        of that representation.

        The replica is a new frame object that has the same data as this frame

        keyword arguments to this method. If ``copy`` is set to `True` then a

        internal arrays are normally not changeable by the user so in most cases

        Parameters
        ----------
        copy : bool, optional
            If True, the resulting object is a copy of the data.  When False,
