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'])

class to contain data from bodies of the solar system

__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)

create body object from parameters

classmethod from_relative(reference, parent, k, name, symbol=None, R=0, **kwargs)

create body object from relative object

class boinor.bodies.SolarSystemPlanet

Bases: Body

class to contain data from planets of the solar system

this class only adds a plotting function to its parent class Body()

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__()

classmethod from_parameters(parent, k, name, symbol, R, **kwargs)

create body object from parameters

classmethod from_relative(reference, parent, k, name, symbol=None, R=0, **kwargs)

create body object from relative object
