- galpy.potential.evaluateR2derivs(Pot, R, z, phi=None, t=0.0)[source]¶
NAME:
evaluateR2derivs
PURPOSE:
convenience function to evaluate a possible sum of potentials
INPUT:
Pot - a potential or list of potentials (dissipative forces in such a list are ignored)
R - cylindrical Galactocentric distance (can be Quantity)
z - distance above the plane (can be Quantity)
phi - azimuth (optional; can be Quantity)
t - time (optional; can be Quantity)
OUTPUT:
d2Phi/d2R(R,z,phi,t)
