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:
- namestr, optional
The name of the source
- peeloffbool, optional
Whether to peel-off photons from this source
Notes

Attributes
name
A string identifying the source (optional)
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 astropy.table.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
