rad_file_tables

PlasmaCalcs.mhd.mhd_er_tables.rad_file_tables(rad_file, *, epermcoords, rcoords, radbins, u=None)

return erTableManager dict (of {var: Radiation lookup table}), for vars in file.

file should have quantities:

‘pscatter’ (probability of scattering)

‘emtherm’ (thermal emission)

‘opacity’ (opacity)

file values should all (?) be in ln-space (e.g. ln(emtherm) instead of emtherm). [TODO] check

file should have values in cgs. [TODO] check

rad_file: str

path to rad table file.

epermcoords, rcoords: 1D array

coords for eperm (energy per unit mass) and r (mass density).

Units should be ‘raw’ units.

radbins: int or 1D array-like

number of radiation bins or coordinates of radiation bins.

u: None or UnitsManager

used to calculate scale_quants to convert to ‘raw’ units.

None –> all scale quants will be 1.
