Solid Angle of the Off-Axis Circle Sector

Authors: Richard J. Mathar

The solid angle of a circular sector specified by circle radius, angle of the sector, and distance of the circle plane to the observer is calculated in terms of inverse trigonometric functions and elliptic integrals of the third kind. This generalizes previous results for the full circle that have appeared in the literature.

Comments: 21 Pages. Version 2 corrects a decisive error in the analysis and adds a C++ program.
