hhgalpy.df.diskdf.sampleLOS¶
- diskdf.sampleLOS(los, n=1, deg=True, maxd=None, nsigma=None, targetSurfmass=True, targetSigma2=True)[source]¶
NAME:
sampleLOS
PURPOSE:
sample along a given LOS
INPUT:
los - line of sight (in deg, unless deg=False; can be Quantity)
n= number of desired samples
deg= los in degrees? (default=True)
- targetSurfmass, targetSigma2= if True, use target surface mass and sigma2 profiles, respectively (there is not much point to doing the latter)
(default=True)
OUTPUT:
returns list of Orbits
- BUGS:
target=False uses target distribution for derivatives (this is a detail)
