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.
