- kerrgeopy.frequencies.gamma(a, p, e, x, constants=None, upsilon_r=None, upsilon_theta=None)[source]#
Computes the average rate at which observer time accumulates in Mino time
- 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)
constants (tuple(double, double, double), optional) – dimensionless constants of motion for the orbit can be passed in to speed computation if they are already known
upsilon_r (double, optional) – Mino frequency of motion in r can be passed in to speed computation if it is already known
upsilon_theta (double, optional) – Mino frequency of motion in theta can be passed in to speed computation if it is already known
- Return type:
double
