By Benjamin Lillard

For finding the instantaneous velocity of the Earth with respect to the galactic dark matter halo

DESCRIPTION:

This notebook tracks the effective DM wind velocity for a lab on Earth, including the annual effects from the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The parameters for the Earth-Sun system are taken from Lewin & Smith (1996), with updated values for the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) taken from arXiv:2105.00599. This notebook uses the astropy package to convert galactic coordinates to ICRS, so that the location of the DM wind source on the sky can be expressed using the usual right ascension (RA) and declination.
