Question about inclination angle UCD

[Kelle Cruz]

Hi folks IVOA folks,

(I posted this question in Slack but didn't get a response. I found these
email addresses on the wiki and am giving them a try. If there's a better
place for discussion, please let me know.)

What’s the best UCD to use for the inclination angle of a star? That is,
the angle of the star’s rotation axis w.r.t. us. Also known as “viewing
angle” or the i in vsin(i).

I don’t think it’s src.orbital.inclination.  But pos.posAng feels wrong
too.

Thanks for any advice.

Kelle
