V
(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶ NAME:
VPURPOSE:
return Heliocentric Galactic rectangular y-velocity (aka “V”)INPUT:
t - (optional) time at which to get U
- obs=[X,Y,Z,vx,vy,vz] - (optional) position and velocity of observer
- (in kpc and km/s) (default=Object-wide default) OR Orbit object that corresponds to the orbit of the observer; Note that when Y is non-zero, the coordinate system is rotated around z such that Y’=0
ro= distance in kpc corresponding to R=1. (default=Object-wide default)
vo= velocity in km/s corresponding to v=1. (default=Object-wide default)
OUTPUT:
V(t) in km/s [*input_shape,nt]HISTORY:
