NAME:

EccZmaxRperiRap

PURPOSE:

evaluate the eccentricity, maximum height above the plane, peri- and apocenter

INPUT:

Either:

  1. R,vR,vT,z,vz[,phi]:
    1. floats: phase-space value for single object (phi is optional) (each can be a Quantity)
    2. numpy.ndarray: [N] phase-space values for N objects (each can be a Quantity)
  2. Orbit instance: initial condition used if that’s it, orbit(t) if there is a time given as well as the second argument

OUTPUT:

(e,zmax,rperi,rap)
