Calculating the direction in degrees

I have a long lasting question about how to determine the angle from the line to the galactic center using the data. Please help!

It has been a very long time since I wrote this code, but it looks like the galactic lat, lon are included in the database.

pulsarMap/js/drawMap.js

Lines 184 to 185 in a1b316e

    
           pulsarData.galacticLongitude = data[row][4]; 
        
           pulsarData.galacticLatitude = data[row][5];  // < off galactic plane, used primarily to calculate distance w/ z

So to get the angle you just use trig: angle = arctan(opposite/adjacent).

Yeah actually i found it and it's actually based on the galactic longitude.

👍

nice to talk to you! can you share your email for further communication?
