galpy.util.conversion.physical_compatible¶

galpy.util.conversion.physical_compatible(obj: Any, other_obj: Any) → bool[source]¶

Test whether the velocity and length units for converting between physical and internal units are compatible for two galpy objects.

Parameters:

obj (galpy object or list of such objects) – A galpy object or list of such objects (e.g., a Potential, list of Potentials, Orbit, actionAngle instance, DF instance)
other_obj (galpy object or list of such objects) – Another galpy object or list of such objects (e.g., a Potential, list of Potentials, Orbit, actionAngle instance, DF instance)

Returns:

True if the units are compatible, False if not (compatible means that the units are the same when they are set for both objects).

Return type:

bool
