(v, x, b, w, x0, v0, GM, rs)[source]¶ NAME:
impulse_deltav_plummer_curvedstreamPURPOSE:
calculate the delta velocity to due an encounter with a Plummer sphere in the impulse approximation; allows for arbitrary velocity vectors, and arbitrary position along the streamINPUT:
v - velocity of the stream (nstar,3)
x - position along the stream (nstar,3)
b - impact parameter
w - velocity of the Plummer sphere (3)
x0 - point of closest approach
v0 - velocity of point of closest approach
GM - mass of the Plummer sphere (in natural units)
rs - size of the Plummer sphere
OUTPUT:
deltav (nstar,3)HISTORY:
