The ConicalShellGeometry class is a subclass of the AxGeometry class and describes the geometry of an axisymmetric conical shell which may be present, in addition to the torus, in the centre of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Very similar to the TorusGeometry, this geometry is described by a radial power-law density (see Stalevski et al. 2012, MNRAS, 420, 2756–2772) but with two finite opening angles, inner and outer. In formula, it is most easily expressed in spherical coordinates as
\[ \rho(r,\theta) = A\, r^{-p}\,{\text{e}}^{-q|\cos\theta|} \quad\text{for } r_{\text{min}}<r<r_{\text{max}} \text{ and } \frac{\pi}{2}-\Delta_{\text{out}} < \theta<\frac{\pi}{2}-\Delta_{\text{in}} \text{ and } \frac{\pi}{2}+\Delta_{\text{in}} < \theta<\frac{\pi}{2}+\Delta_{\text{out}}. \]
There are six free parameters describing this dust geometry: the inner and outer radii \(r_{\text{min}}\) and \(r_{\text{max}}\) of the conical shell, the radial power law index \(p\), the polar index \(q\) and the inner and outer opening angles \(\Delta_{\text{in}}\) and \(\Delta_{\text{out}}\) describing the inner and outer edge of the shell.
If the dusty system under consideration is in the vicinity of an AGN central engine or another source which is luminous enough to heat the dust up to sublimation temperature, the inner radius should correspond to sublimation radius and scale as \( r_{\text{min}} \propto L(\theta)^{0.5}\) (Barvainis, 1987, ApJ, 320, 537, eq (5)). If the primary source assumes anisotropic emission, the inner radius must follow the same dependence as the distribution of the primary source luminosity. Otherwise, dust temperature on the inner boundary of geometry is very likely to be under- or over-estimated. Thus, if the NetzerAccretionDiskGeometry distribution is chosen to describe primary source emission, it is recommended to turn on the anisotropic inner radius option for the torus geometry. The inner radius will then be set by the following formula:
\[ r_{\text{min}} \propto (\cos\theta\,(2\cos\theta+1))^{0.5}.\]
This should allow dust to approach all the way to the primary central source in the equatorial plane. However, due to the finite resolution of dust cells, it may happen that some of the innermost cells end up with unphysically high temperatures. For this reason, there is an additional input parameter, the cutoff radius \(r_{\text{cut}}\). The value of the cutoff radius is usually found after a few trial-and-error experiments by inspecting temperature distribution maps, until the inner wall of the geometry is at the expected sublimation temperature for a given dust population.
The total dust mass of the model corresponds to the mass of the original geometry, before the inner wall is reshaped to account for anisotropy; the difference is usually rather small.

This function generates a random position from the torus geometry, by drawing a random point from the three-dimensional probability density \(p({\bf{r}})\, {\text{d}}{\bf{r}} = \rho({\bf{r}})\, {\text{d}}{\bf{r}}\). For the torus geometry, the density is a separable function of \(r\) and \(\theta\), so that a random position can hence be constructed by combining random spherical coordinates, each chosen from their own probability distributions. A random azimuth \(\phi\) is readily found by chosing a random deviate \({\cal{X}}\) and setting \( \phi = 2\pi {\cal{X}} \).
For the radial coordinate, the appropriate probability distribution is \(p(r)\,{\text{d}}r \propto r^{2-p}\,{\text{d}}r \). A random radius is generated by picking a new uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\), and solving the equation
\[ {\cal{X}} = \int_{r_\text{min}}^r p(r')\, {\text{d}}r' \]
for \(r\). For \(p\ne3\) we find
\[{\cal{X}} = \frac{r^{3-p} - r_{\text{min}}^{3-p}} {r_{\text{max}}^{3-p} - r_{\text{min}}^{3-p}}. \]
Inverting this results in
\[ r = \left[ (1-{\cal{X}})\,r_{\text{min}}^{3-p} + {\cal{X}}\,r_{\text{max}}^{3-p} \right]^{\frac{1}{3-p}}. \]
For \(p=3\) this expression does not hold, and for \(p\approx3\) it breaks down numerically. So for \(p\approx3\) we can write the general expression
\[ r = {\text{gexp}}_{p-2} \Big[ {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} + {\cal{X}}\,( {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} ) \Bigr]. \]
In this expression, \({\text{gln}}_p\,x\) and \({\text{gexp}}_p\,x\) are the generalized logarithm and exponential functions defined in SpecialFunctions::gln and SpecialFunctions::gexp respectively.
Finally, for the polar angle, the appropriate distribution function is
\[ p(\theta)\, {\text{d}}\theta \propto e^{-q|\cos\theta|}\sin\theta\, {\text{d}}\theta. \]
A random polar angle is generated by picking a new uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\), and solving the equation
\[ {\cal{X}} = \int_0^\theta p(\theta')\, {\text{d}}\theta' \]
for \(\theta\). We obtain after some calculation
\[ {\cal{X}} = \begin{cases} \; \dfrac12 \left( 1 - \dfrac{1-{\text{e}}^{-q\cos\theta}}{1-{\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta}} \right) & \quad\text{for } \frac{\pi}{2}-\Delta < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2} \\[1.2em] \;\dfrac12 \left( 1 + \dfrac{1-{\text{e}}^{q\cos\theta}}{1-{\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta}} \right) & \quad\text{for } \frac{\pi}{2} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}+\Delta \end{cases} \]
Inverting this gives
\[\cos\theta = \begin{cases}\; -\dfrac{1}{q} \ln\left[ 1-\left(1- {\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta}\right) (1-2{\cal{X}}) \right] & \quad\text{if $0<{\cal{X}}<\tfrac12$} \\[1.2em] \; \dfrac{1}{q} \ln\left[ 1-\left(1 -{\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta}\right) (2{\cal{X}}-1) \right] & \quad\text{if $\tfrac12<{\cal{X}}<1$} \end{cases}. \]
Since this function generates a random position from the torus geometry, positions are rejected until they fall into non-zere area, i.e. inside the conical shell.

This function verifies the validity of the geometry parameters. The normalization parameter \(A\) is set by the normalization condition that total mass equals one, i.e.
\[ 1 = 2\pi\, A\, 2\int_{\pi/2+\Delta_{\text{in}}}^{\pi/2+\Delta_{\text{out}}} e^{-q|\cos\theta|}\sin\theta\, {\text{d}}\theta \int_{r_{\text{min}}}^{r_{\text{max}}} r^{2-p}\, {\text{d}}r. \]
This results in
\[ A = \frac{q}{4\pi\, ({\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta_{\text{in}}} - {\text{e}}^{-q\sin\Delta_{\text{out}}})}\, \frac{1}{ {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} }, \]
with \({\text{gln}}_p\, x\) the generalized logarithm defined in SpecialFunctions::gln. If \(q=0\), this expression reduces to
\[ A = \frac{1}{4\pi\,(\sin\Delta_{\text{out}} - \sin\Delta_{\text{in}})\, ({\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} )}. \]

\[ \Sigma_R = A\, {\text{e}}^{-q\cos\Delta}\, ( {\text{gln}}_p\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_p\, r_{\text{min}} ) \]
with \({\text{gln}}_p\,x\) the generalized logarithm defined in SpecialFunctions::gln.
