Detailed Description

A BandLuminosityNormalization instance sets the normalization of a primary source by specifying the mean specific luminosity (radiative power per units of wavelength or frequency) for a given wavelength band such as, for example, a standard Johnson filter or the transmission curve for an actual instrument. See the Band class for more information.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ UnitStyle

enum class BandLuminosityNormalization::UnitStyle : int
strong

The enumeration type indicating the specific luminosity unit style, e.g. whether to use specific luminosity per unit of wavelength, frequency or energy.

neutralmonluminosity : "neutral: λ L_λ = ν L_ν".

wavelengthmonluminosity : "per unit of wavelength: L_λ".

frequencymonluminosity : "per unit of frequency: L_ν".

energymonluminosity : "counts per unit of energy: L_E".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BandLuminosityNormalization()

BandLuminosityNormalization::BandLuminosityNormalization ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass BandLuminosityNormalization: "source normalization through the specific luminosity for a given wavelength band".

Member Function Documentation

◆ band()

Band * BandLuminosityNormalization::band ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable item property band: "the wavelength band for which to provide the specific luminosity".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "BroadBand".

◆ luminosityForSED()

double BandLuminosityNormalization::luminosityForSED ( SED * sed) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the luminosity of a source with the specified SED, limited to the source's wavelength range. Given that the luminosity of the spectrum described by the SED object over the source wavelength range is normalized to unity, the requested luminosity is obtained by dividing the user-configured specific luminosity by the normalized specific luminosity in the SED at the same wavelength.

Implements LuminosityNormalization.

◆ specificLuminosity()

double BandLuminosityNormalization::specificLuminosity ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property specificLuminosity: "the specific luminosity for the given band".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "@unitStyle".

The minimum value for this property is "]0".

◆ unitStyle()

UnitStyle BandLuminosityNormalization::unitStyle ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable UnitStyle enumeration property unitStyle: "the luminosity unit style".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "wavelengthmonluminosity".
