for tplot
default units are SI units for space plasma physics
- B : magnetic field, nT
- n : number density, cm^-3
- T : temperature, eV
Reference
- plasmapy.formulary provides theoretical formulas for calculation of physical quantities helpful for plasma physics.
tplot_Alfven_speed
tplot_Alfven_speed (B:str, density:str, **kwargs)
Type | Details | |
---|---|---|
B | str | magnetic field in the plasma, could be a component, as plasmapy will take abs of it |
density | str | particle density of the plasma |
