fit_toy_potential¶
- gala.dynamics.fit_toy_potential(orbit, force_harmonic_oscillator=False)[source]¶
Fit a best fitting toy potential to the orbit provided. If the orbit is a tube (loop) orbit, use the Isochrone potential. If the orbit is a box potential, use the harmonic oscillator potential. An option is available to force using the harmonic oscillator (
force_harmonic_oscillator
).See the docstrings for ~`gala.dynamics.fit_isochrone()` and ~`gala.dynamics.fit_harmonic_oscillator()` for more information.
