- streamdf.misalignment(isotropic=False, **kwargs)[source]¶
NAME:
misalignment
PURPOSE:
calculate the misalignment between the progenitor’s frequency and the direction along which the stream disrupts
INPUT:
isotropic= (False), if True, return the misalignment assuming an isotropic action distribution
OUTPUT:
misalignment in rad
