Detailed Description

An instance of the FileIndexedSEDFamily can be used to specify user-provided spectra for an imported source such as a CellSource or a ParticleSource. This can be useful, for example, to include emission from the interstellar medium in a simulation. The spectra should be provided in SKIRT stored table format as a 2-dimensional table with the wavelength as the first axis.

The implementation of this class has on purpose been kept very basic to allow for maximum flexibility: the spectra are parametrised using a single (positive) dimensionless index parameter that identifies each spectrum. Apart from the positivity requirement, there are no restrictions on the values of the index. Although originally conceived as an integer counter, the use of a stored table by the implementation also allows for floating point indices. Care has to be taken that the indices referenced by the imported source elements do in fact exist in the stored table. If not, the implementation will interpolate from existing index values and this interpolation will most likely be wrong because spectra with consecutive indices do not necessarily have a physical relationship.

To allow for source elements without emission, a negative index is interpreted as "no emission".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileIndexedSEDFamily()

FileIndexedSEDFamily::FileIndexedSEDFamily ( )

inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass FileIndexedSEDFamily: "a user-provided, indexed SED family".

Member Function Documentation

cdf()

double FileIndexedSEDFamily::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.

filename()

string FileIndexedSEDFamily::filename ( ) const

inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable string property filename: "the name of the stored table file listing the SEDs".

intrinsicWavelengthRange()

Range FileIndexedSEDFamily::intrinsicWavelengthRange ( ) const

overridevirtual

This function returns the intrinsic wavelength range of the SED family. It retrieves this range from the underlying stored table.

Implements SEDFamily.

parameterInfo()

vector< SnapshotParameter > FileIndexedSEDFamily::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.

setupSelfBefore()

void FileIndexedSEDFamily::setupSelfBefore ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

This function opens the user-specified resource file (in SKIRT stored table format).

Reimplemented from SimulationItem.

specificLuminosity()

double FileIndexedSEDFamily::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.
