energy

kerrgeopy.constants.energy(a, p, e, x)

Computes the dimensionless energy of a bound orbit with the given parameters

Parameters:

• a (double) – dimensionless spin of the black hole (must satisfy -1 < a < 1)

• p (double) – orbital semi-latus rectum

• e (double) – orbital eccentricity (must satisfy 0 <= e <= 1)

• x (double) – cosine of the orbital inclination (must satisfy 0 <= x^2 <= 1)

Return type:

double
