pymgp.satorb.keplernu(nu, ecc)[source]#

Compute mean and eccentric anomaly from true anomaly (Kepler’s equation).

Parameters:

nuarray_like: True anomaly (radians)
eccarray_like: Eccentricity (unity)

Returns:

Marray_like: Mean anomaly (radians)
Earray_like: Eccentric anomaly (radians)

Notes

This routine should only be used for elliptical orbits. Parabolic and hyperbolic orbits are not supported and give false results (this is nowhere checked for).
