KRC for Exoplanets
A user can define the orbital parameters of any body rotating around any star. PORB generates the rotation matrix accordingly.
Solar System-like
First, run porb to define the orbital parameters of the body in a structure:
tmp=generic_porb(e=0, a=1.,i=1.30439695, node=100.47390909, peri=293.923, m=79.668,rot_per=200., polera=273.85,poledec=poledec, merid=7.7, period=4332.589, name="IdealJupiterTrojan")
Where
- e: Eccentricity (Default=0)
- a: Semi-Major Axis in AU (Default=1)
- i: Inclination of mean orbit to ecliptic in degrees (Default=0)
- node: Longitude of the asceding node in degrees (Default=0)
- per: Argument of perihelion in degrees (Default=0)
- m: Mean Anomaly at epoch in degrees (Default=0)
- rot_per: siderial rotation period in hours (Default=23.9345)
- polera: Right Ascension of the pole in degrees (Default=0)
- merid: Prime meridian at epoch in degrees (Default=0)
- poledec: Declination of the pole in degrees (Default=0)
- period: Sideral orbital period in Earth days (Default=365.256)
- name: Body name (default ="None")
printf("\nGenerate a generic PORB structure for use with the davinci porb function\n")
printf("This is formatted in the minor body style for porb and permits the following values described below\n\n")
printf("\tname = body name (Default=\"None\"\n")
