actionAngleIsochroneApprox
(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Action-angle formalism using an isochrone potential as an approximate potential and using a Fox & Binney (2014?) like algorithm to calculate the actions using orbit integrations and a torus-machinery-like angle-fit to get the angles and frequencies (Bovy 2014)

(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶ - NAME:
- __init__
- PURPOSE:
- initialize an actionAngleIsochroneApprox object
INPUT:
Either:
b= scale parameter of the isochrone parameter (can be Quantity)
ip= instance of a IsochronePotential
aAI= instance of an actionAngleIsochrone
pot= potential to calculate action-angle variables for
tintJ= (default: 100) time to integrate orbits for to estimate actions (can be Quantity)
ntintJ= (default: 10000) number of time-integration points
integrate_method= (default: ‘dopr54_c’) integration method to use
dt= (None) orbit.integrate dt keyword (for fixed stepsize integration)
maxn= (default: 3) Default value for all methods when using a grid in vec(n) up to this n (zero-based)
ro= distance from vantage point to GC (kpc; can be Quantity)
vo= circular velocity at ro (km/s; can be Quantity)
