actionAngleVertical

class galpy.actionAngle.actionAngleVertical(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Action-angle formalism for one-dimensional potentials (or of the vertical potential in a galactic disk in the adiabatic approximation, hence the name)

__init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Initialize an actionAngleVertical object.

Parameters:

  • pot (potential or list of 1D potentials (linearPotential or verticalPotential)) – Potential or list of 1D potentials.

  • 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).
