galpy.orbit.Orbit.L¶
- Orbit.L(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Calculate the angular momentum at time t.
- Parameters:
t (numeric, numpy.ndarray or Quantity, optional) – Time at which to get the angular momentum. Default is the initial time.
ro (float or Quantity, optional) – Physical scale in kpc for distances to use to convert. Default is object-wide default.
vo (float or Quantity, optional) – Physical scale in km/s for velocities to use to convert. Default is object-wide default.
use_physical (bool, optional) – Use to override object-wide default for using a physical scale for output.
quantity (bool, optional) – If True, return an Astropy Quantity object. Default from configuration file.
- Returns:
Angular momentum.
- Return type:
float, numpy.ndarray or Quantity [*input_shape,nt,3]
