galpy.df.diskdf.skewvT

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

Calculate skew in vT at R by marginalizing over velocity

Parameters:

  • R (float) – Radius at which to calculate <vR>

  • 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 (default: 0.0)

Returns:

Skew in vT

Return type:

float
