galpy.df.diskdf.oortB

diskdf.oortB(R, romberg=False, nsigma=None, phi=0.0)[source]

Calculate the Oort function B.

Parameters:

  • R (float) – Radius at which to calculate B (can be Quantity).

  • romberg (bool, optional) – If True, use a romberg integrator (default: False).

  • nsigma (float, optional) – Number of sigma to integrate the velocities over.

  • phi (float, optional) – Azimuth angle (in radians) at which to calculate B.

Returns:

Oort B at R.

Return type:

float or Quantity
