Source ParametersΒΆ

source_type

Options:

  • star: characterized by its temperature, source_temperature, and ionizing photon luminosity, source_qdot
  • bh: characterized by its mass, source_mass etc.
  • toy: completely parameterized
source_temperature

If source_type is star, this is its surface temperature. [Kelvin]

Default: \(10^5 \ \text{K}\)

source_mass

If source_type is bh, this is its mass [\(M_{\odot}\)]

Default: \(10 \ M_{\odot}\)

source_qdot

Ionizing photon luminosity. [\(\text{s}^{-1}\)]

Default: \(5 \times 10^{48}\ \text{s}^{-1}\)

source_lifetime

Time after which radiation from this source will no longer be considered.

Default: \(10^{10}\) [time_units]
