constructor

Parameters:

radius - The distance to the termination shock.

p - The position of the Sun.

Method Detail

Efield

public Vec3 Efield(Vec3 x,
                   Vec3 E)

constant electric field except for a sphere centered at p where the field is zero

Specified by:

Efield in class BaseObject

Parameters:

x - the position of the observer

E - the electric field at the position of the observer

Returns:

E the electric field at the position of the observer

Bfield

B - the magnetic field at the observer's position if the charge is at p (calculated)

Returns:

zero for a stationary charge

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

writes properties of the HelioField to a string
