hyperion.sources.MapSource

class hyperion.sources.MapSource(name=None, peeloff=True, **kwargs)

A diffuse source.

This can be used for example to simulate the interstellar radiation field. This source emits inwards.

Parameters :

name : str, optional

The name of the source

peeloff : bool, optional

Whether to peel-off photons from this source

Notes

Any additional arguments are are used to initialize attributes.

Attributes

luminosity	The bolometric luminosity of the source (ergs/s)
temperature	The temperature of the source (K)
spectrum	The spectrum of the source, specified either as an atpy.Table instance with 'nu' and 'fnu' columns, or as a (nu, fnu) tuple, where the frequency is given in Hz, and the flux is given as F_nu (units are unimportant since the normalization is set by the luminosity).
map	The relative luminosity in each cell, given as a Numpy array or an AMRGridView instance
