kerrgeopy.plunge.plunging_radial_integrals(a, E, L, Q)[source]#

Computes the radial integrals \(I_r\), \(I_{r^2}\) and \(I_{r_\pm}\) defined in equation 39 of Dyson and van de Meent as a function of the radial phase. Used to compute the radial solutions for the case of two complex roots.

Parameters:

  • a (double) – dimensionless spin parameter

  • E (double) – dimensionless energy

  • L (double) – dimensionless angular momentum

  • Q (double) – dimensionless Carter constant

Returns:

radial integrals \((I_r,I_{r^2},I_{r_+},I_{r_-})\)

Return type:

tuple(function,function,function,function)
