docs: *return IDs of all triangles contained within and/or intersecting a circle centered on a given ra and dec*
  
          **Key Arguments:**
              - ``ra`` -- RA of central point in decimal degrees or sexagesimal
              - ``dec`` -- DEC of central point in decimal degrees or sexagesimal
              - ``radius`` -- radius of circle in degrees
              - ``inclusive`` -- include IDs of triangles that intersect the circle as well as those completely inclosed by the circle. Default *True*
              - ``convertCoordinates`` -- convert the corrdinates passed to intersect. Default *True*
              -
  
          **Return:**
              - ``trixelArray`` -- a numpy array of the match trixel IDs
  
          **Usage:**
  
              To return the trixels overlapping a circle with a 10 arcsec radius centred at 23:25:53.56, +26:54:23.9
  
              .. code-block:: python
  
                  overlappingTrixels = mesh16.intersect(
                      ra="23:25:53.56",
                      dec="+26:54:23.9",
                      radius=10 / (60 * 60),
                      inclusive=True
                  )
  
              Or to return the trixels completing enclosed by a circle with a 1 degree radius centred at 23:25:53.56, +26:54:23.9
  
              .. code-block:: python
