polygrav

Numpy implementation of the polyhedral gravity algorithm from Werner - Scheeres (1996) [1]. Given a constant-density polyhedron, the Werner - Scheeres formulas allow for the efficient and accurate calculation of the grativational attraction and potential at a point which is exterior to the polyhedron.
