Parameters
----------
radius_profile (``numpy.ndarray``):
Radius in unit of planetary radii.

Velocities sampled at the values of ``radius_profile`` in units of
sound speed. Similar to the output of ``parker.structure()``.
density (``numpy.ndarray``):
Densities sampled at the values of ``radius_profile`` in units of
density at the sonic point. Similar to the output of
``parker.structure()``.
hydrogen_ion_fraction (``numpy.ndarray``):
Number fraction of H ion over total H in the upper atmosphere in
function of radius. Similar to the output of
``hydrogen.ion_fraction()``.
planet_radius (``float``):
Planetary radius in unit of Jupiter radius.
temperature (``float``):
Isothermal temperature of the upper atmosphere in unit of Kelvin.

density_sonic_point (``float``):
Density at the sonic point in units of g / cm ** 3.
spectrum_at_planet (``dict``, optional):
Spectrum of the host star arriving at the planet covering fluxes at
least up to the wavelength corresponding to the energy to populate the
helium states (4.8 eV, or 2593 Angstrom). Can be generated using
``tools.make_spectrum_dict``. If ``None``, then ``flux_euv`` and
``flux_fuv`` must be provided instead. Default is ``None``.
flux_euv (``float``, optional):
Monochromatic extreme-ultraviolet (0 - 1200 Angstrom) flux arriving at
the planet in units of erg / s / cm ** 2. If ``None``, then
``spectrum_at_planet`` must be provided instead. Default is ``None``.
flux_fuv (``float``, optional):
Monochromatic far- to middle-ultraviolet (1200 - 2600 Angstrom) flux
arriving at the planet in units of erg / s / cm ** 2. If ``None``, then
``spectrum_at_planet`` must be provided instead. Default is ``None``.
initial_state (``numpy.ndarray``, optional):
The initial state is the `y0` of the differential equation to be solved.
This array has two items: the initial value of the fractions of singlet
and triplet state in the inner layer of the atmosphere. The default
value for this parameter is ``numpy.array([0.5, 0.5])``, i.e., fully
neutral at the inner layer with 50% in singlet and 50% in triplet
states.
relax_solution (``bool``, optional):
The first solution is calculating by initially assuming the entire
atmosphere is in neutral state. If ``True``, the solution will be
re-calculated in a loop until it converges to a delta_f of 1%, or for a
maximum of 10 loops (default parameters). Default is ``False``.
convergence (``float``, optional):
Value of delta_f at which to stop the relaxation of the solution for
``f_r``. Default is 0.01.
max_n_relax (``int``, optional):
Maximum number of loops to perform the relaxation of the solution for
``f_r``. Default is 10.
method (``str``, optional):
If method is ``'odeint'``, then ``scipy.integrate.odeint()`` is used
instead of ``scipy.integrate.solve_ivp()`` to calculate the steady-state
distribution of helium. The first seems to be at least twice faster than
the second in some situations. Any other method will fall back to an
option of ``solve_ivp()`` methods. For example, if ``method`` is set to
``'Radau'``, then use ``solve_ivp(method='Radau')``. Default is
``'odeint'``.
return_rates (``bool``, optional):
If ``True``, then this function also returns a ``dict`` object
containing the various reaction rates in function of radius and in units
of 1 / s. Default is ``False``.
**options_solve_ivp:
Options to be passed to the ``scipy.integrate.solve_ivp()`` solver. You
may want to change the options ``atol`` (absolute tolerance; default is
1E-6) or ``rtol`` (relative tolerance; default is 1E-3). If you are
having numerical issues, you may want to decrease the tolerance by a
factor of 10 or 100, or 1000 in extreme cases.
Returns
-------
f_1_r (``numpy.ndarray``):
Fraction of helium in singlet state in function of radius.

"""
Sometimes we need to calculate only the fraction of ionized helium and not
necessarily the triplet and singlet fractions. This function does that,
which is faster than ``population_fraction()``. The result is in function of
the radius in unit of planetary radius.
Parameters
----------
radius_profile (``numpy.ndarray``):
Radius in unit of planetary radii.
velocity (``numpy.ndarray``):
Velocities sampled at the values of ``radius_profile`` in units of
sound speed. Similar to the output of ``parker.structure()``.
density (``numpy.ndarray``):
Densities sampled at the values of ``radius_profile`` in units of
density at the sonic point. Similar to the output of
``parker.structure()``.
hydrogen_ion_fraction (``numpy.ndarray``):
Number fraction of H ion over total H in the upper atmosphere in
function of radius. Similar to the output of
``hydrogen.ion_fraction()``.
planet_radius (``float``):
Planetary radius in unit of Jupiter radius.
temperature (``float``):
Isothermal temperature of the upper atmosphere in unit of Kelvin.
h_fraction (``float``):
Total (ion + neutral) H number fraction of the atmosphere.
speed_sonic_point (``float``):
Speed of sound in the outflow in units of km / s.
radius_sonic_point (``float``):
Radius of the sonic point in unit of Jupiter radius.
density_sonic_point (``float``):
Density at the sonic point in units of g / cm ** 3.
spectrum_at_planet (``dict``):
Spectrum of the host star arriving at the planet covering fluxes at
least up to the wavelength corresponding to the energy to ionize helium
(4.8 eV, or 2593 Angstrom). Can be generated using
``tools.make_spectrum_dict``.
initial_f_he_ion (``numpy.ndarray``, optional):
The initial helium ion fraction at the layer near the surface of the
planet. Default is 0.0, i.e., 100% neutral.
relax_solution (``bool``, optional):
The first solution is calculating by initially assuming the entire
atmosphere is in neutral state. If ``True``, the solution will be
re-calculated in a loop until it converges to a delta_f of 1%, or for a
maximum of 10 loops (default parameters). Default is ``False``.
convergence (``float``, optional):
Value of delta_f at which to stop the relaxation of the solution for
``f_r``. Default is 0.01.
max_n_relax (``int``, optional):
Maximum number of loops to perform the relaxation of the solution for
``f_r``. Default is 10.
method (``str``, optional):
If method is ``'odeint'``, then ``scipy.integrate.odeint()`` is used
instead of ``scipy.integrate.solve_ivp()`` to calculate the steady-state
distribution of helium. The first seems to be at least twice faster than
the second in some situations. Any other method will fall back to an
option of ``solve_ivp()`` methods. For example, if ``method`` is set to
``'Radau'``, then use ``solve_ivp(method='Radau')``. Default is
``'Radau'``.
**options_solve_ivp:
Options to be passed to the ``scipy.integrate.solve_ivp()`` solver. You
may want to change the options ``atol`` (absolute tolerance; default is
1E-6) or ``rtol`` (relative tolerance; default is 1E-3). If you are
having numerical issues, you may want to decrease the tolerance by a
factor of 10 or 100, or 1000 in extreme cases.
Returns
-------
f_r (``numpy.ndarray``):
Fraction of ionized helium in function of radius.
