Bases: petitRADTRANS._read_opacities.ReadOpacities

Class defining objects for carrying out spectral calculations for a given set of opacities

Args:
line_species (Optional):

list of strings, denoting which line absorber species to include.

rayleigh_species (Optional):

list of strings, denoting which Rayleigh scattering species to include.

cloud_species (Optional):

list of strings, denoting which cloud opacity species to include.

continuum_species (Optional):

list of strings, denoting which continuum absorber species to include.

H2H2CIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add H2-H2 Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'H2-H2' into continuum_species list).

H2HeCIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add H2-He Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'H2-He' into continuum_species list).

N2N2CIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add N2-N2 Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'N2-N2' into continuum_species list).

O2O2CIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add O2-O2 Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'O2-O2' into continuum_species list).

N2O2CIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add N2-O2 Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'N2-O2' into continuum_species list).

CO2CO2CIA (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True, will add CO2-CO2 Collision induced absoprtion as continuum absorber (alternatively, put 'CO2-CO2' into continuum_species list).

wlen_bords_micron (Optional):

list containing left and right border of wavelength region to be considered, in micron. If nothing else is specified, it will be equal to [0.05, 300], hence using the full petitRADTRANS wavelength range (0.11 to 250 microns for 'c-k' mode, 0.3 to 30 microns for the 'lbl' mode). The larger the range the longer the computation time.

mode (Optional[string]):

if equal to 'c-k': use low-resolution mode, at \(\lambda/\Delta \lambda = 1000\), with the correlated-k assumption. if equal to 'lbl': use high-resolution mode, at \(\lambda/\Delta \lambda = 10^6\), with a line-by-line treatment.

do_scat_emis (Optional[bool]):

Will be False by default. If True scattering will be included in the emission spectral calculations. Note that this increases the runtime of pRT!

lbl_opacity_sampling (Optional[int]):

Will be None by default. If integer positive value, and if mode == 'lbl' is True, then this will only consider every lbl_opacity_sampling-nth point of the high-resolution opacities. This may be desired in the case where medium-resolution spectra are required with a \(\lambda/\Delta \lambda > 1000\), but much smaller than \(10^6\), which is the resolution of the lbl mode. In this case it may make sense to carry out the calculations with lbl_opacity_sampling = 10, for example, and then rebinning to the final desired resolution: this may save time! The user should verify whether this leads to solutions which are identical to the rebinned results of the fiducial \(10^6\) resolution. If not, this parameter must not be used.
