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 +translational degrees of freedom are affected by the self-propulsion.
