Precession cycles per eccentricity bundle, predicted

Usage

bundling_ratios(
  age_ma = 0,
  k_yr = NULL,
  ecc_terms = c("g2-g5", "g3-g2", "g4-g2", "g3-g5", "g4-g5"),
  prec_terms = c("k+g5", "k+g2", "k+g3", "k+g4", "k+s3"),
  data_dir = NULL
)

Arguments

age_ma

Age at which the ratios are predicted, in Ma (single numeric value, 0 to 4429); the precession constant at that age is taken from the AstroGeo22 model (astrogeo22, linear interpolation). Ignored when k_yr is given. Default=0.

k_yr

Your own value of the precession constant, given as its period in years (numeric, e.g. about 25700 for today), used instead of the AstroGeo22 value; NULL uses the model value at age_ma. Default=NULL.

ecc_terms

Eccentricity terms that form the rows of the output (character vector). Each is a secular frequency combination such as "g2-g5", "g3-g2", combined terms such as "2(g2-g5)" or "(g3-g2)-(g2-g5)", or an alias such as "e405", "e125", "e95" (see astro_terms). Default=c("g2-g5", "g3-g2", "g4-g2", "g3-g5", "g4-g5").

prec_terms

Precession and obliquity terms that form the columns of the output (character vector), each of the form "k+gi" (precession) or "k+si" (obliquity), or an alias such as "prec" or "obl". Default=c("k+g5", "k+g2", "k+g3", "k+g4", "k+s3").

data_dir

Folder that contains the astronomical data tables AstroGeo22.txt and La04gisi.csv (character path); NULL uses the tables installed with the package (or the folder set with options(cocoR.data = ...)). Default=NULL.

Value

matrix of bundling ratios, eccentricity terms in rows, precession (and obliquity) terms in columns
