__call__(self, radius, blur=True, random_state='random-seed')[source]

Draw random position from spiral arm distribution.

Returns the corresponding angle theta[rad] to a given radius[kpc] and number of spiralarm. Possible numbers are:

  • Norma = 0,
  • Carina Sagittarius = 1,
  • Perseus = 2
  • Crux Scutum = 3.
Parameters:
random_state : {int, ‘random-seed’, ‘global-rng’, RandomState}

Defines random number generator initialisation. Passed to get_random_state.
Returns:
Returns dx and dy, if blurring= true.
radius(self, theta, spiralarm_index)

Parameters:
theta : array_like

Angle (deg)

spiralarm_index : int
