This file defines two classes that are used to deal with axisymmetric density or potential models. They are initialized from a given CDensity or CPotential instance (which needs not be axisymmetric itself, in which case all quantities will be averaged over azimuthal angle using an auxiliary class CPotentialAxisymmetrized). CMassModelAxisymmetric then provides fast interpolation-based routines to compute surface density and mass in a given slab |z|<Z0 or a cylinder R<R0. CMassModelAxisymmetricJeans further provides velocity dispersions obtained by solving the axisymmetric Jeans equations under the assumption of separability in cylindrical coordinates (a.k.a. Jeans Anisotropic Model).
