eval_lambda
Synopsis
eval_lambda OUTPUT_FILE [options]
Description
The eval_lambda tool evaluates the angular eigenvalue \(\lambda\) appearing in Laplace’s tidal equations (see the Rotation Effects section), over a grid \(\{q\}\) of spin parameter values. These data are written to an output file in GYRE’s HDF Format, with the following data objects in the root group:
