Detailed Description

CenteredSource is an abstract class for representing specialty radiation sources that have a configurable central point in space, but cannot be implemented as a GeometricSource because of emission anisotropies. A typical example is a primary source that provides a homogeneous background radiation field in a well-defined spatial region.

This class allows the user to configure the central location, and through its base class, it offer user configuration of the SED and luminosity normalization, and possibly a bulk velocity.

This item type is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CenteredSource()

CenteredSource::CenteredSource ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for abstract Item subclass CenteredSource: "a centered primary source".

Member Function Documentation

◆ centerX()

double CenteredSource::centerX ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property centerX: "the center of the source, x component".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0".

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "centerX:Dimension3" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ centerY()

double CenteredSource::centerY ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property centerY: "the center of the source, y component".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0".

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "centerY:Dimension3" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ centerZ()

double CenteredSource::centerZ ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property centerZ: "the center of the source, z component".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0".

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "centerZ:Dimension2" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ geometryDimension()

int CenteredSource::geometryDimension ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the dimension of the geometry of the source, which is the same as the instrinsic dimension (to be provided by the subclass) except if the center is not in the coordinate system origin.

Implements SpecialtySource.

◆ intrinsicDimension()

virtual int CenteredSource::intrinsicDimension ( ) const
pure virtual

This function returns the intrinsic dimension of the spatial distribution implemented by the subclass, taking into account anisotropic emission or polarization, if any, but assuming that the center is in the coordinate system origin (and ignoring any bulk velocity). The function must be implemented in a subclass.

Implemented in CubicalBackgroundSource, SphericalBackgroundSource, and StellarSurfaceSource.
