galpy.potential.plotRotcurve¶

galpy.potential.plotRotcurve(Pot, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Plot the rotation curve for this potential (in the z=0 plane for non-spherical potentials).

Parameters:

Pot (Potential or list of Potential instances) – Potential instance or list of such instances.
Rrange (numpy.ndarray or Quantity) – Range in R to consider (needs to be in the units that you are plotting).
grid (int, optional) – Number of grid points in R.
phi (float or Quantity, optional) – Azimuth to use for non-axisymmetric potentials.
savefilename (str, optional) – Save to or restore from this savefile (pickle).
*args – Arguments passed to galpy.util.plot.plot.
**kwargs – Keyword arguments passed to galpy.util.plot.plot.

Returns:

Axes on which the plot was drawn.

Return type:

matplotlib.Axes
