galpy.df.streamdf.calc_stream_lb

streamdf.calc_stream_lb(Vnorm=None, Rnorm=None, R0=None, Zsun=None, vsun=None)

NAME:

calc_stream_lb

PURPOSE:

convert the stream track to observational coordinates and store

INPUT:

Coordinate transformation inputs (all default to the instance-wide values):

Vnorm= circular velocity to normalize velocities with

Rnorm= Galactocentric radius to normalize positions with

R0= Galactocentric radius of the Sun (kpc)

Zsun= Sun’s height above the plane (kpc)

vsun= Sun’s motion in cylindrical coordinates (vR positive away from center)

OUTPUT:

(none)
