Welcome to kinesis documentation!

Kinesis is a package for fitting the internal kinematics of a star cluster with astrometry and (incomplete) radial velocity data of its members. It also has utilities to generate mock clusters and mock observations.

• Installing kinesis
• Making a mock cluster
  • Making and observing a mock cluster
  • Perspective effect
  • Degeneracy between perspective effect and isotropic contraction/expansion
  • Effect of internal velocity gradient
