streamdf.misalignment(isotropic=False, **kwargs)

NAME:

misalignment

PURPOSE:

calculate the misalignment between the progenitor’s frequency and the direction along which the stream disrupts

INPUT:

isotropic= (False), if True, return the misalignment assuming an isotropic action distribution

OUTPUT:

misalignment in rad
