galpy.potential.Potential.dvcircdR¶
- Potential.dvcircdR(R, phi=None, t=0.0)[source]¶
NAME:
dvcircdR
PURPOSE:
calculate the derivative of the circular velocity at R wrt R in this potential
INPUT:
R - Galactocentric radius (can be Quantity)
phi= (None) azimuth to use for non-axisymmetric potentials
t - time (optional; can be Quantity)
OUTPUT:
derivative of the circular rotation velocity wrt R
