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). |
position | The cartesian position of the source (x, y, z) as a sequence of three floating-point values (cm) |
radius | The radius of the source (cm) |
