Orbit.vll(*args, **kwargs)

NAME:

vll

PURPOSE:

return the velocity in Galactic longitude (km/s)

INPUT:

t - (optional) time at which to get vll

obs=[X,Y,Z,vx,vy,vz] - (optional) position and velocity of observer
(in kpc and km/s) (default=[8.5,0.,0.,0.,235.,0.]) OR Orbit object that corresponds to the orbit of the observer

ro= distance in kpc corresponding to R=1. (default: 8.5)

vo= velocity in km/s corresponding to v=1. (default: 235.)

OUTPUT:

v_l(t) in km/s
