Detailed Description

ConvergenceCutsProbe outputs FITS files with cuts through the true input media density and the grid-discretized media density along the coordinate planes. The field of view of each cut covers the extent of the spatial grid in the simulation in the relevant directions. Each cut has 1024 x 1024 pixels. This information is useful as a first check of the simulation configuration and specifically for evaluating the discretization quality of the configured spatial grid.

The number of data files written depends on the geometry and material contents of the medium system. For spherical symmetry only the intersection with the xy plane is written, for axial symmetry the intersections with the xy and xz planes are written, and for general geometries all three intersections are written. Also, a separate set of files is produced for each material type (dust, electrons, or gas). The files for dust provide the dust mass density, and those for electrons and gas provide the electron or hydrogen number density. Multiple media components containing the same material type are combined, regardless of ordering.

The difference between the true input density maps (named prefix_probe_MM_t_XX.fits) and the grid-discretized density maps (named prefix_probe_MM_g_XX.fits) is the following: the true input density is the density represented by the input model configured in the media system, i.e. the true density that would correspond to an infinitely fine spatial grid. The grid-discretized density maps on the other hand give the value of the density as read from the finite-resolution spatial grid in the simulation. A comparison of both sets of maps can reveal whether the configured spatial grid is suitable (in the ideal case, there would be no difference between both sets of maps).

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