galpy.orbit.Orbit.Tp

Orbit.Tp(*args, **kwargs)

NAME:

Tp

PURPOSE:

calculate the azimuthal period

INPUT:

pot - potential

type= (‘adiabatic’) type of actionAngle module to use

1. ‘adiabatic’
2. ‘staeckel’
3. ‘isochroneApprox’
4. ‘spherical’

+actionAngle module setup kwargs

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

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

use_physical= use to override Object-wide default for using a physical scale for output

OUTPUT:

Tp
