Differential rotation equation in vgrid.py is different from Cegla+2016 Eq. 8 #67

Description

@Huang-CL

To implement the stellar rotational velocity at lines 40-44 in vgrid.py, the code cites Cegla+2016 Eq. 8, which accounts for the effect of stellar differential rotation. In Cegla et al. Eq. 8, they assumed a differential rotation law derived from the Sun, expressed as (1 - \alpha y'_perp^2). However, in vgrid.py, the velocity appears linear to y', not y'^2. Is it a typo? Or does the code apply another differential rotation law?
