Black Hole SourcesΒΆ
Black hole sources currently have a wider array of potential behaviors than stellar sources. For example, their spectra can be quite a bit more complicated. ARES supports several standard SEDs for BHs:
Power-law (see
source_alpha
parameter to set slope)Absorbed power-law (see
source_logN
to set absorbing column)The multi-color disk spectrum
BHs are also normalized differently.
