Kepler-453b: A Real Tatooine?¶
In August 2015 the discovery of Kepler-453b was announced. Kepler-453b orbits a binary star, like the planet “Tatooine” in “Star Wars”. We apply numerical techniques for solving differential equations to explore the possible orbital dynamics of this planet.
Animation¶
Animating a graph involves repeatedly updating the coordinates of drawn objects such as points and lines, then redrawing the objects. We learn how to do this in a Jupyter Notebook.
Matplotlib¶
- FuncAnimation
Quiz 9: More NumPy¶
- Indexing using boolean arrays.
- Indexing using integer arrays.
- meshgrid
