class galpy.df.isotropicHernquistdf(pot=None, ro=None, vo=None)[source]

Class that implements isotropic spherical Hernquist DF computed using the Eddington formula

__init__(pot=None, ro=None, vo=None)[source]

Initialize an isotropic Hernquist distribution function.

Parameters:
  • pot (HernquistPotential instance) – Hernquist potential instance.

  • ro (float or Quantity, optional) – Distance scale for translation into internal units (default from configuration file).

  • vo (float or Quantity, optional) – Velocity scale for translation into internal units (default from configuration file).
