Bound geodesics also possess fundamental frequencies since their radial, azimuthal, and polar motions are periodic.

`KerrGeoPy` is a Python package which computes both stable and plunging timelike geodesics in Kerr spacetime using the
analytic solutions to the geodesic equation derived in [@fujita] and
[@dyson]. It mirrors and builds upon much of the functionality of the `KerrGeodesics` [@kerrgeodesics] Mathematica library.

@dyson. It mirrors and builds upon much of the functionality of the `KerrGeodesics` [@kerrgeodesics] Mathematica library.
Geodesic solutions are written in terms of Legendre elliptic integrals, which are
evaluated using `SciPy`. Users can construct a geodesic by providing the initial position and
four-velocity, or by providing either the constants of motion or the Keplerian parameters described above.

`KerrGeoPy` provides methods for computing the four-velocity, fundamental frequencies,
and constants of motion associated with a given geodesic and also implements the algorithm described
in [@stein] for finding the location of the last stable orbit, known as the separatrix. The package also

includes several methods for visualizing and animating geodesics.

`KerrGeoPy` is a part of the [Black Hole Perturbation Toolkit](https://bhptoolkit.org). The source code
