``gamma_rotate``. The two options allow one to switch the translational and rotational
thermalization on or off separately, maintaining the frictional behavior. This
can be useful, for instance, in high Péclet number active matter systems, where
one only wants to thermalize only the rotational degrees of freedom and
translational motion is affected by the self-propulsion.
one wants to thermalize only the rotational degrees of freedom while

The keywords ``gamma`` and ``gamma_rotate`` can be specified as a scalar,
or, with feature ``PARTICLE_ANISOTROPY`` compiled in, as the three eigenvalues
