Detailed Description

SpecialtySource is an abstract class representing a primary radiation source characterized by a single SED object and a single bulk velocity, i.e. both the spectrum and the bulk velocity are identical in all locations. This combination is suitable for specialty sources for which a velocity field makes no sense.

Subclasses must handle the spatial distribution of the source, and can optionally add anisotropy and/or polarization.

Properties of sub-types of this type are listed in user interfaces somewhere in between the properties of this type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SpecialtySource()

SpecialtySource::SpecialtySource ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for abstract Item subclass SpecialtySource : "a primary source with a single bulk velocity" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ dimension()

int SpecialtySource::dimension ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the dimension of the source, which is the same as the dimension of its spatial distribution (to be provided by the subclass), except if there is a nonzero bulk velocity.

Implements Source.

◆ geometryDimension()

virtual int SpecialtySource::geometryDimension ( ) const
pure virtual

This function returns the dimension of the spatial distribution implemented by the subclass, taking into account anisotropic emission or polarization, if any. It must be implemented in a subclass.

Implemented in CenteredSource, and PointSource.

◆ hasVelocity()

bool SpecialtySource::hasVelocity ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns true if the velocity of the source is nonzero.

Implements Source.

◆ launchNormalized()

void SpecialtySource::launchNormalized ( PhotonPacket pp,
size_t  historyIndex,
double  lambda,
double  Lw 
) const
overridevirtual

This function causes the photon packet pp to be launched from the source. It passes the request through to the subclass, adding the redshift interface for the configured bulk velocity to the list of arguments.

Implements NormalizedSource.

◆ launchSpecialty()

virtual void SpecialtySource::launchSpecialty ( PhotonPacket pp,
size_t  historyIndex,
double  lambda,
double  Lw,
VelocityInterface bvi 
) const
pure virtual

This function causes the photon packet pp to be launched from the source using the given history index, wavelength, weighted luminosity contribution, and redshift interface (corresponding to the bulk velocity of the source). It must be implemented in a subclass to handle the spatial distribution of the source, optionally adding anisotropy and/or polarization.

Implemented in CubicalBackgroundSource, PointSource, SphericalBackgroundSource, and StellarSurfaceSource.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void SpecialtySource::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function creates a private object offering the velocity interface if the bulk velocity is nonzero.

Reimplemented from NormalizedSource.

◆ velocity()

Vec SpecialtySource::velocity ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function implements the VelocityInterface interface. It returns the bulk velocity of this source, as configured by the user.

Implements VelocityInterface.

◆ velocityX()

SpecialtySource::velocityX ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property velocityX : "the bulk velocity of the source, x component" .

This property represents a physical quantity of type "velocity" .

The minimum value for this property is "[-100000 km/s" .

The maximum value for this property is "100000 km/s]" .

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0" .

This property is relevant only if the Boolean expression "Panchromatic" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "Panchromatic&velocityX:Dimension3" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ velocityY()

SpecialtySource::velocityY ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property velocityY : "the bulk velocity of the source, y component" .

This property represents a physical quantity of type "velocity" .

The minimum value for this property is "[-100000 km/s" .

The maximum value for this property is "100000 km/s]" .

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0" .

This property is relevant only if the Boolean expression "Panchromatic" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "Panchromatic&velocityY:Dimension3" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ velocityZ()

SpecialtySource::velocityZ ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property velocityZ : "the bulk velocity of the source, z component" .

This property represents a physical quantity of type "velocity" .

The minimum value for this property is "[-100000 km/s" .

The maximum value for this property is "100000 km/s]" .

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0" .

This property is relevant only if the Boolean expression "Panchromatic" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "Panchromatic&velocityZ:Dimension2" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.
