Detailed Description

SecondarySource is the abstract base class for helper classes that handle launching photon packets from a secondary source of a given type, i.e. dust or gas. The class inherits SimulationItem so that, for example, it can easily use the find() template function, but it is not part of the configurable simulation item hierarchy. Instead, the SecondarySourceSystem class creates and holds SecondarySource subclass instances as required depending on the simulation's configuration.

For more information on the operation of this class and its subclasses, see the SecondarySourceSystem class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SecondarySource()

SecondarySource::SecondarySource ( SimulationItem * parent)
explicit

This constructor creates a SecondarySource subclass instance. Before the constructor returns, the newly created object is hooked up as a child to the specified parent in the simulation hierarchy (so it will automatically be deleted).

Member Function Documentation

◆ launch()

virtual void SecondarySource::launch ( PhotonPacket * pp,
size_t historyIndex,
double L ) const
pure virtual

This function causes the photon packet pp to be launched for this source from one of the cells in the spatial grid using the given history index and luminosity.

Implemented in ContGasSecondarySource, DustSecondarySource, and LineGasSecondarySource.

◆ prepareLuminosities()

virtual double SecondarySource::prepareLuminosities ( )
pure virtual

This function calculates and stores the bolometric luminosities for this source in each spatial cell of the simulation, and returns the grand-total bolometric luminosity for this source.

Implemented in ContGasSecondarySource, DustSecondarySource, and LineGasSecondarySource.

◆ preparePacketMap()

virtual void SecondarySource::preparePacketMap ( size_t firstIndex,
size_t numIndices )
pure virtual

This function prepares the mapping of history indices to sources, given the range of history indices allocated to this source .

Implemented in ContGasSecondarySource, DustSecondarySource, and LineGasSecondarySource.
