Orbit.L(*args, **kwargs)

NAME:

L

PURPOSE:

calculate the angular momentum at time t

INPUT:

t - (optional) time at which to get the angular momentum

ro= (Object-wide default) physical scale for distances to use to convert

vo= (Object-wide default) physical scale for velocities to use to convert
