actionAngleAdiabatic

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

Action-angle formalism for axisymmetric potentials using the adiabatic approximation

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

Initialize an actionAngleAdiabatic object.

Parameters:
  • pot (potential or list of potentials) – The potential or list of potentials.

  • gamma (float, optional) – Replace Lz by Lz+gamma Jz in effective potential. Default is 1.0.

  • 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).
