Grid Parameters

grid_cells

Number of resolution elements in the grid (i.e., number of concentric spherical shells to consider in 1-D calculation).

logarithmic_grid

If True, discretize space logarithmically, rather than linearly.

Default: False

start_radius

Ignore radiative transfer within this distance from the origin [length_units] Must be done in order to avoid divergence in flux as \(r\rightarrow 0\)

density_units

Hydrogen number density in units of \(\text{cm}^{-3}\) Default: \(1 \ \text{cm}^{-3}\)

length_units

Default: \(10 \times 3.08568 \times 10^{21} \ \text{cm}\) (i.e., 10 kilo-parsec) [centimeters]

time_units

Default: \(3.15576 \times 10^{13} \ \text{s}\) (i.e., 1 Myr) [seconds]

initial_ionization

initial_temperature

include_igm

Include IGM phase in the model?

Default: True

include_cgm

Include CGM phase in the model?

Default: True
