galpy.df.streamspraydf.sample¶
- streamspraydf.sample(n, return_orbit=True, returndt=False, integrate=True)[source]¶
Sample from the DF
- Parameters:
n (int) – Number of points to return.
return_orbit (bool, optional) – If True, the output phase-space positions is an orbit.Orbit object. If False, the output is (R,vR,vT,z,vz,phi). Default is True.
returndt (bool, optional) – If True, also return the time since the star was stripped. Default is False.
integrate (bool, optional) – If True, integrate the orbits to the present time. If False, return positions at stripping (probably want to combine with returndt=True then to make sense of them!). Default is True.
- Returns:
Orbit instance or (R,vR,vT,z,vz,phi) of points on the stream in 6,N array (set of 6 Quantities when physical output is on); optionally the time is included as well. The ro/vo unit-conversion parameters and the zo/solarmotion parameters as well as whether physical outputs are on, match the settings of the progenitor Orbit given to the class initialization
- Return type:
Orbit, numpy.ndarray, or tuple
