Spin-weighted spheroidal harmonic module#

The spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics \(S_{sjm\gamma}(\theta)\) satisfy the equation

\[ \left[\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\frac{d}{d\theta}\left(\sin\theta \frac{d}{d\theta} \right) - \left(\gamma^2\sin^2\theta+\frac{(m+s\cos\theta)^2}{\sin^2\theta} +2\gamma s\cos\theta-s-2m\gamma-\lambda_{sjm\gamma} \right)\right]S_{sjm\gamma} = 0, \]
with eigenvalues \(\lambda_{sjm\gamma}\) and spheroidicity \(\gamma\). For the Teukolsky equation, \(\gamma = a\omega\).
