- gala.dynamics.find_actions(orbit, N_max, force_harmonic_oscillator=False, toy_potential=None)[source]¶
Find approximate actions and angles for samples of a phase-space orbit. Uses toy potentials with known, analytic action-angle transformations to approximate the true coordinates as a Fourier sum.
