actionAngleSpherical

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

Action-angle formalism for spherical potentials

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

Initialize an actionAngleSpherical object.

Parameters:
  • pot (Potential or list thereof) – A spherical potential.

  • 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).

  • _gamma (float, optional) – Replace Lz by Lz+gamma Jz in effective potential when using this class as part of actionAngleAdiabatic (internal use).
