pynbody.gravity.calc.midplane_rot_curve(f: SimSnap, rxy_points: ndarray, eps: float | SimArray | None = None)[source]#

Calculate the rotation curve of a disk galaxy in the x-y midplane (with z=0)

Parameters:
  • f – The snapshot to calculate the rotation curve for

  • rxy_points – A list or array of radii at which to calculate the rotation curve, in the xy-plane

Returns:

v – The rotation curve at the specified radii

Return type:

array.SimArray
