actionAngleVertical¶
- class galpy.actionAngle.actionAngleVertical(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Action-angle formalism for one-dimensional potentials (or of the vertical potential in a galactic disk in the adiabatic approximation, hence the name)
- __init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
NAME:

initialize an actionAngleVertical object
INPUT:
pot= potential or list of 1D potentials (linearPotential or verticalPotential)
ro= distance from vantage point to GC (kpc; can be Quantity)
vo= circular velocity at ro (km/s; can be Quantity)
OUTPUT:
instance
