AGN

AGN.power_law_cutoff

An advanced option - this is a low frequency cutoff for an AGN power law spectrum. It prevents the powerlaw being applied to low frequencies and giving an odd SED.

Type: Double

Unit: Hz

Values: Greater than 0

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`BH.radiation`: True

File: setup_star_bh.c

AGN.power_law_index

The exponent alpha in a power law SED applied to an AGN central source of the form L_nu=K nu**alpha

Type: Double

Values: Any - but sign is not assumed, so for negative index use a negative value

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`BH.radiation`: True

File: setup_star_bh.c

AGN.bremsstrahlung_alpha

The frequency exponent alpha in bremstrahlung SED of the form L_nu=nu**alpha exp(-hnu/kT)

Type: Double

Values: Any - sign is not assumed so use negative if you want negative

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`BH.rad_type_to_make_wind`: brems

File: setup_star_bh.c

AGN.bremsstrahlung_temp

The temperature T in bremstrahlung SED of the form L_nu=nu**alpha exp(-hnu/kT)

Type: Double

Unit: K

Values: Greater than 0

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`BH.rad_type_to_make_wind`: brems

File: setup_star_bh.c

AGN.lamp_post_height

Generates the AGN/BH source from two points, located symmetrically above the axes of the central object.

Type: Double

Unit: :ref:`Central_object.radius`

Values: Greater than 0

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`BH.geometry_for_pl_source`: lamp_post

File: setup_star_bh.c
