Anisotropic Hernquist DF with constant \(\beta\)

class galpy.df.constantbetaHernquistdf(pot=None, beta=0, ro=None, vo=None)[source]

Class that implements the anisotropic spherical Hernquist DF with constant beta parameter

__init__(pot=None, beta=0, ro=None, vo=None)[source]

Initialize a Hernquist DF with constant anisotropy.

Parameters:
  • pot (HernquistPotential) – Hernquist potential which determines the DF.

  • beta (float) – Anisotropy parameter.

  • 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).
