Detailed Description

The EinastoGeometry class is a subclass of the SpheGeometry class, and describes spherical geometries characterized by an Einasto density profile (Einasto 1965),

ρ(r)=ρsexp{dn[(rrs)1/n1]}.

This geometry has two free parameters: the half mass radius rs, and the Einasto index n. The quantity dn is not a free parameter, but a numerical constant that guarantees that rs is the radius of the sphere that contains half of the total mass. A numerical approximation for dn is provided by Retana-Montenegro et al. (2012):

dn=3n+13+81215n+184229635n2+104831000725n3.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ EinastoGeometry()

EinastoGeometry::EinastoGeometry ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass EinastoGeometry : "an Einasto geometry" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ density()

double EinastoGeometry::density ( double  r) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the density ρ(r) at the radius r. It just implements the analytical formula.

Implements SpheGeometry.

◆ halfMassRadius()

EinastoGeometry::halfMassRadius ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property halfMassRadius : "the half-mass radius" .

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

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

◆ index()

EinastoGeometry::index ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property index : "the Einasto index n" .

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

◆ randomRadius()

double EinastoGeometry::randomRadius ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the radius of a random position drawn from the Einasto geometry. We just use the vector of cumulative masses stored internally.

Implements SpheGeometry.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void EinastoGeometry::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function calculates some frequently used values. The half-mass density ρs is set by the normalization condition that the total mass is equal to one. For the Einasto model we find (see Retana-Montenegro et al. 2012)

ρs=dn3n4πednnΓ(3n)rs3.

We also set of a vector with the cumulative mass

M(r)=4π0rρ(r)r2dr

at a large number of radii. For the Einasto model,

M(r)=P[3n,dn(rrs)1/n]

where P(a,x) is the incomplete Gamma function.

Reimplemented from SimulationItem.

◆ Sigmar()

double EinastoGeometry::Sigmar ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the radial surface density, i.e. the integration of the density along a line starting at the centre of the coordinate system,

Σr=0ρ(r)dr.

For the Einasto geometry, one obtains

Σr=nGamma(n)ρsrsedndnn.

Implements SpheGeometry.
