Detailed Description

An instance of the BlackBodySEDFamily class represents a family of black body SEDs, i.e. emission spectra of perfect absorbers in thermal equilibrium. The SED family is parameterized on the temperature $T$ of the black body (defining the form of the spectrum) and the radius $R$ of the black body (determining the absolute luminosity scale). As a function of these two parameters, the specific luminosity is given by

$$L_{\lambda }(\lambda ,R,T)=4\pi R^2\pi B_{\lambda }(\lambda ,T)$$

where $B_{\lambda }(\lambda ,T)$ is the Planck function.

Whenever a tabular form of a black body SED is requested, this class uses a spectral resolution of $R\triangleq \lambda /\mathrm{\Delta }\lambda \ge 1000$ (see PlanckFunction::cdf()).

When imported from a text column file, the parameters for this SED family must appear in the following order in the specified default units (unless these units are overridden by column header info):

$$R(\mathrm{k}\mathrm{m})T(\mathrm{K})$$

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BlackBodySEDFamily()

BlackBodySEDFamily::BlackBodySEDFamily ( )

inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass BlackBodySEDFamily : "a black body SED family" .

Member Function Documentation

cdf()

double BlackBodySEDFamily::cdf ( Array &  lambdav, Array &  pv, Array &  Pv, const Range &  wavelengthRange, const Array &  parameters  ) const

overridevirtual

This function constructs both the normalized probability density function (pdf) and the corresponding normalized cumulative distribution function (cdf) for the SED with the specified parameters over the specified wavelength range. The function returns the normalization factor. The number and type of parameters must match the information returned by the parameterInfo() function; if not the behavior is undefined.

Implements SEDFamily.

intrinsicWavelengthRange()

Range BlackBodySEDFamily::intrinsicWavelengthRange ( ) const

overridevirtual

This function returns the intrinsic wavelength range of the SED family. For the BlackBodySEDFamily, the intrinsic range is unlimited, so this function returns a range including all representable positive floating point values.

Implements SEDFamily.

parameterInfo()

vector< SnapshotParameter > BlackBodySEDFamily::parameterInfo ( ) const

overridevirtual

This function returns the number and type of parameters used by this particular SED family as a list of SnapshotParameter objects. Each of these objects specifies unit information and a human-readable descripton for the parameter.

Implements SEDFamily.

specificLuminosity()

double BlackBodySEDFamily::specificLuminosity ( double  wavelength, const Array &  parameters  ) const

overridevirtual

This function returns the specific luminosity $L_{\lambda }$ (i.e. radiative power per unit of wavelength) for the SED with the specified parameters at the specified wavelength, or zero if the wavelength is outside of the SED's intrinsic wavelength range. The number and type of parameters must match the information returned by the parameterInfo() function; if not the behavior is undefined.

Implements SEDFamily.
