find_frequencies

superfreq.find_frequencies(orbit, force_box=False, silently_fail=True, **kwargs)

Compute the fundamental frequencies of an orbit, w. If not forced, this function tries to figure out whether the input orbit is a tube or box orbit and then uses the appropriate set of coordinates (Poincaré polar coordinates for tube, ordinary Cartesian for box). Any extra keyword arguments (kwargs) are passed to SuperFreq.find_fundamental_frequencies.

Requires Gala.

Parameters:

orbit : gala.dynamics.CartesianOrbit

The orbit to analyze.

force_box : bool (optional)

Force the routine to assume the orbit is a box orbit. Default is False.

silently_fail : bool (optional)

Return NaN’s and None’s if SuperFreq fails, rather than raising an exception.

**kwargs

Any extra keyword arguments are passed to SuperFreq.find_fundamental_frequencies.
