sphergal_to_rectgal
(l, b, d, vr, pmll, pmbb, degree=False)[source]¶ NAME:
sphergal_to_rectgalPURPOSE:
transform phase-space coordinates in spherical Galactic coordinates to rectangular Galactic coordinates (can take vector inputs)INPUT:
l - Galactic longitude (rad)
b - Galactic latitude (rad)
d - distance (kpc)
vr - line-of-sight velocity (km/s)
pmll - proper motion in the Galactic longitude direction (mu_l*cos(b) ) (mas/yr)
pmbb - proper motion in the Galactic latitude (mas/yr)
degree - (bool) if True, l and b are in degrees
OUTPUT:
(X,Y,Z,vx,vy,vz) in (kpc,kpc,kpc,km/s,km/s,km/s)HISTORY:
