RT06 Test #1 (Strömgren Sphere, isothermal)

Test #1 from the Radiative Transfer Comparison Project (Iliev et al. 2006).

This problem investigates the growth of an HII region around a monochromatic source of ionizing photons. The main parameters are:

• Stellar ionizing photon production rate of \(\dot{Q} = 5 \times 10^{48} \ \text{s}^{-1}\).

• Medium composed of hydrogen only, with a density of \(n_{\text{H}} = 10^{-3} \ \text{cm}^{-3}\).

• Medium is isothermal at \(T=10^4\) K.
