galpy.df.streamdf.sigangledAngle¶
- streamdf.sigangledAngle(dangle, assumeZeroMean=True, smallest=False, simple=False)[source]¶
NAME:
sigangledAngle
PURPOSE:
calculate the dispersion in the perpendicular angle at a given angle
INPUT:
dangle - angle offset along the stream
assumeZeroMean= (True) if True, assume that the mean is zero (should be)
smallest= (False) calculate for smallest eigenvalue direction rather than for middle
simple= (False), if True, return an even simpler estimate
OUTPUT:
dispersion in the perpendicular angle at this angle
