Module Contents

class boinor.bodies.Body

Bases: namedtuple('_Body', ['parent', 'k', 'name', 'symbol', 'R', 'R_polar', 'R_mean', 'rotational_period', 'J2', 'J3', 'mass', 'mean_a'])

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable’s items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

__slots__ = ()
property angular_velocity

Return angular velocity of Body.

__str__()

Return str(self).

__reduce__()

Helper for pickle.

__repr__()

Return repr(self).

tmp_G()

pylint detects an import error with G, so we add a test whether G is available

classmethod from_parameters(parent, k, name, symbol, R, **kwargs)
classmethod from_relative(reference, parent, k, name, symbol=None, R=0, **kwargs)
class boinor.bodies.SolarSystemPlanet

Bases: Body

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable’s items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

plot(epoch=None, label=None, plane=Planes.EARTH_ECLIPTIC, backend=None)

Plots the body orbit.

Parameters:

  • epoch (astropy.time.Time, optional) – Epoch of current position.

  • label (str, optional) – Label for the orbit, defaults to empty.

  • plane (Planes) – Reference plane of the coordinates.

  • backend (OrbitPlotterBackend) – An instance of OrbitPlotterBackend for rendendering the scene.

__slots__ = ()
property angular_velocity

Return angular velocity of Body.

__str__()

Return str(self).

__reduce__()

Helper for pickle.

__repr__()

Return repr(self).
