Angular dependence of outflow temperature

In the vein of Stone and Proga (2009), we've made a first cut at implementing an angular dependence for heating. The heating rate, from S&P's equation (6): e(R_{P},\theta) = e_{0}*min[0.01,cos(\theta)] where \theta = 0 at the line connecting the centers of mass of the star and the planet. \gamma = 1.1, \rho = 10, \rho_{ambient} = 0.1, stellar wind velocity = 10 (not exactly in line with S&P's second case). Further testing is in progress.
