blackStar¶

class ChiantiPy.tools.sources.blackStar(temperature, radius)[source] [edit on github]¶

Bases: object

Calculate blackbody radiation

Parameters:

temperature : ndarray

Temperature in Kelvin

radius : ndarray

Stellar radius in cm

Attributes

Temperature	(`ndarray`) Temperature in Kelvin
Radius	(`ndarray`) Stellar radius in cm
Incident	(`ndarray`) Blackbody photon distribution

Methods Summary

incident(distance, energy) Calculate photon distribution times the visible cross-sectional area.

Methods Documentation

incident(distance, energy)[source] [edit on github]¶

Calculate photon distribution times the visible cross-sectional area.

Parameters:

distance : ndarray

Distance to the stellar object in cm

energy : ndarray

Energy range in erg

Notes

This function returns the photon distribution instead of the distribution times the cross-sectional area. Is this correct? Why is the incident photon distribution calculated at all?
