simDistancesConstantSpaceDensity

agabpylib.simulation.parallaxsurveys.simDistancesConstantSpaceDensity(numStars, minDistance, maxDistance, rangen)

Simulate distances for stars distributed uniformly in space around the Sun.

Parameters:

• int (numStars) – Number of stars to simulate

• minDistance (float) – Lower limit on the distance (pc, closest possible star)

• maxDistance (float) – Upper limit on the distance (pc, volume limit of survey)

• rangen (numpy.random.Generator) – Random number generator.

Returns:

distances – Vector of distance values

Return type:

float array
