(v, x, b, w, x0, v0, pot)[source]¶ NAME:
impulse_deltav_general_curvedstreamPURPOSE:
calculate the delta velocity to due an encounter with a general spherical potential in the impulse approximation; allows for arbitrary velocity vectors and arbitrary shaped streamsINPUT:
v - velocity of the stream (nstar,3)
x - position along the stream (nstar,3)
b - impact parameter
w - velocity of the subhalo (3)
x0 - position of closest approach (3)
v0 - velocity of stream at closest approach (3)
pot - Potential object or list thereof (should be spherical)
OUTPUT:
deltav (nstar,3)HISTORY:
