Potential due to gravity (spherical harmonics)
[pot] = CL_fo_sphHarmPot(pos, maxnm [, er, mu, j1jn, cs1nm, inc00])
Potential defined by spherical harmonics.
By definition, the acceleration derived from the potential is +grad(potential).
Notes:
- The origin for the position vector must be the central body.
- The coordinates frame must be the frame in which the potential is defined.
See Force models for more details.
Position vector from the central body [m]. (3xN)
(integer) Maximum degree/order to consider: [nmax,mmax] (1x2) or "all"
(optional) Equatorial radius [m]. Default value is %CL_eqRad.
(optional) Gravitational constant [m^3/s^2]. Default value is %CL_mu.
(optional) Zonal harmonics. Default value is %CL_j1jn. (Nzx1)
(complex, optional) Tesseral and sectorial harmonics: cs1nm(n,m) = Cnm + %i * Snm. Default value is %CL_cs1nm (NnxNm)
(optional) %t if the effect of the central term is included. Default is %f.
Potential [m^2/s^2]. (1xN)
