Detailed Description

Optically thick or thin, spherical objects.

Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere is an abstract type from which
uniform, spherical objects inherit (in particular, the
Gyoto::Astrobj::Star and Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar classes).

These objects are coordinate-spherical: they comprise all the
points within a given radius from a centre. The distance is the
usual Euclidian distance in a Cartesian coordinate system which is
trivially determined by the coordinate system in which the Metric
is expressed.

The sphere is in solid motion: all the points have the same
4-velocity. The centre of the sphere may move. This motion and the
velocity are provided by the derived classes through the
getCartesian() and getVelocity() methods.

The spheres can be optically thick or optically thin. In the
optically thin case, the opacity law provided as a Gyoto::Spectrum
also sets both the emissivity. Another Gyoto::Spectrum provides
the emission law of the source, which is uniform.

Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere::setParameters() take care of
interpreting the XML elements describing the parameters of the
sphere:
<Radius> value </Radius>
<Spectrum kind="..."> parameters for this spectrum kind </Spectrum>
<Opacity kind="..."> parameters for this spectrum kind </Opacity>

setGenericParameters() also takes care of calling setParameter().


Member Typedef Documentation

typedef Gyoto::SmartPointer<Gyoto::SmartPointee> Gyoto::SmartPointee::Subcontractor_t(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *)
inherited

A subcontractor builds an object upon order from the Factory.

Various classes need to provide a subcontractor to be able to instanciate themselves upon order from the Factory. A subcontractor is a function (often a static member function) which accepts a pointer to a FactoryMessenger as unique parameter, communicates with the Factory using this messenger to read an XML description of the object to build, and returns this objet. SmartPointee::Subcontractor_t* is just generic enough a typedef to cast to and from other subcontractor types: Astrobj::Subcontractor_t, Metric::Subcontractor_t, Spectrum::Subcontractor_t. A subcontractor needs to be registered using the relevant Register() function: Astrobj::Register(), Metric::Register(), Spectrum::Register().

void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::checkPhiTheta ( double  coord[8]) const
inherited

checkPhiTheta() Modifies coord if the corrdinates are spherical-like so that coord[2]=theta is in [0,pi] and coord[3]=phi is in [0,2pi]. Important to use in all astrobj in spherical coordinates to prevent "z-axis problems".

virtual Generic* Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::clone ( ) const
pure virtualinherited

"Virtual" copy constructor

 This method must be implemented by the various Astrobj::Generic
 subclasses in order to support cloning:
SmartPointer<Astrobj> deep_copy = original->clone();
 Implementing it is very straightforward, as long as the copy
 constructor Generic(const Generic& ) has been implemented:
MyAstrobj* MyAstrobj::clone() const { return new MyAstrobj(*this); }

Implemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::Disk3D, Gyoto::Astrobj::ThinDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::DynamicalDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex, Gyoto::Astrobj::Disk3D_BB, Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus, Gyoto::Astrobj::PageThorneDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::ThinDiskPL, Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDiskBB, and Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere::fillElement ( FactoryMessenger fmp) const
virtual

Fill the generic XML bits.

The sub-classes implementations of the Astrobj::Generic::fillElement() method should call Astrobj::UniformSphere::fillElement() to fill the common bits.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, and Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar.

size_t const  n_dates,
double *const  x,

double *const  z,
double *const  xprime = NULL,
double *const  yprime = NULL,
double *const  zprime = NULL 
)
protectedpure virtual

Yield the Cartesian coordinates of the center of the sphere.

If the coordinate system of the Metric object is spherical, use a trivial conversion.

Implemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, and Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar.

virtual Quantity_t Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::getDefaultQuantities ( )
virtualinherited

Return a Gyoto::Quantity_t suitable as input to Gyoto::Scenery::setRequestedQuantities() to set de default quantities to compute for this object. The default of these defaults GYOTO_QUANTITY_INTENSITY.

int Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::getFlag_radtransf ( ) const
inherited

Query whether object is optically thin.

See setFlag_radtransf(int flag).

virtual SmartPointer<Metric::Generic> Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::getMetric ( ) const
virtualinherited

Get the Metric

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star.

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::getRmax ( )
virtualinherited

Get maximal distance from center of coordinate system.

Get maximal distance from center of coordinate system at which a Photon may hit the object.

Child classes may use the rmax_ member to cache this value.

It can also be set using setRmax(). If setRmax has been used to set rmax_, getRmax() must not recompute it.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, and Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus.

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard::giveDelta ( double  coord[8])
virtualinherited

Used by Standard::Impact().

Gives the requested integration step delta_t (in coordinate time t) between two neighbooring points along a portion of geodesic inside an astrobj

Parameters:
coordinput coordinate at which delta_t is given
virtual int Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard::Impact ( Gyoto::Photon ph,
size_t  index,
Astrobj::Properties data = NULL 
)
virtualinherited

does a photon at these coordinates impact the object?

Impact() checks whether a Photon impacts the object between two integration steps of the photon's trajectory (those two steps are photon->getCoord(index, coord1) and photon->getCoord(index+1, coord2)). Impact returns 1 if the photon impacts the object between these two steps, else 0. In many cases of geometrically thick obects, the implementation Astrobj::Standard::Impact() will be fine.

Impact will call Generic::processHitQuantities() (which is virtual and may be re-implemented) to compute observable properties on demand: if the data pointer is non-NULL, the object will look in it for pointers to properties which apply to its kind. If a pointer to a property known to this object is present, then the property is computed and store at the pointed-to adress. For instance, all objects know the "intensity" property. If data->intensity != NULL, the instensity is computed and stored in *data->intensity.

If data is non-NULL and only in this case, processHitQuantities() will also call ph->transmit() to update the transmissions of the Photon (see Photon::transmit(size_t, double)). This must not be done if data is NULL (see Astrobj::Complex::Impact() for an explanation).

Parameters:
phGyoto::Photon aimed at the object;
indexIndex of the last photon step;
dataPointer to a structure to hold the observables at impact.
Returns:
1 if impact, 0 if not.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere::integrateEmission ( double  nu1,
double  nu2,
double  dsem,
double  c_ph[8],
double  c_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
protectedvirtual

^nu2 I_nu dnu (or j_nu)

Compute the integral of emission() from nu1 to nu2. The default implementation is a numerical integrator which works well enough and is reasonably fast if emission() is a smooth function (i.e. no emission or absorption lines). If possible, it is wise to implement an analytical solution. It is used by processHitQuantities to compute the "BinSpectrum" quantity which is the most physical: it is the only quantity that can be actually measured directly by a real-life instrument.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::processHitQuantities ( Photon ph,
double *  coord_ph_hit,
double *  coord_obj_hit,
double  dt,
Astrobj::Properties data 
) const
virtualinherited

processHitQuantities fills the requested data in Impact. To use it, you need to call it in the Impact() method for your object in case of hit. It will fill Redshift, Intensity, Spectrum, BinSpectrum and update the Photon's transmission by calling Photon::transmi(), only if data==NULL.

You can overload it for your Astrobj. The generic implementation calls emission(), integrateEmission() and transmission() below.

void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::setFlag_radtransf ( int  flag)
inherited

Set whether the object is optically thin.

Set flag indicating that radiative transfer should be integrated, i.e. the object is to be considered optically thin.

Parameters:
flag,:1 if optically thin, 0 if optically thick.
virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::setMetric ( SmartPointer< Metric::Generic )
virtualinherited
virtual int Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere::setParameter ( std::string  name,
std::string  content 
)
virtual

Called from setParameters()

 Assume MyKind is a sublcass of Astrobj::Generic which has towo
 members (a string StringMember and a double DoubleMember):
int MyKind::setParameter(std::string name, std::string content) {
if (name=="StringMember") setStringMember(content);
else if (name=="DoubleMember") setDoubleMemeber(atof(content.c_str()));
else return Generic::setParameter(name, content);
return 0;
}

If MyKind is not a direct subclass of Generic but is a subclass of e.g. Standard, UniformSphere of ThinDisk, it should call the corresponding setParameter() implementation instead of Generic::setParameter().

Parameters:
nameXML name of the parameter
contentstring representation of the value
Returns:
0 if this parameter is known, 1 if it is not.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, and Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere::setParameters ( FactoryMessenger fmp)
virtual

Interpret common XML sections.

 The sub-classes subcontractor function (see
 Astrobj::Subcontractor_t) should call this after creating the
 object to interpret the common bits (Spectrum, Opacity, Radius):
SmartPointer<MyObject> object = new MyObject (.....);
fmp -> reset();
object -> setParameters(fmp);

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::setRmax ( double  val)
virtualinherited

Set maximal distance from center of coordinate system.

Set maximal distance from center of coordinate system at which a Photon may hit the object.

Side effect: set rmax_set_ to 1.

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::transmission ( double  nuem,
double  dsem,
double  coord[8] 
) const
virtualinherited

Transmission: exp( {} * dsem )

transmission() computes the transmission of this fluid element or 0 if optically thick. The default implementation returns 1. (no attenuation) if optically thin, 0. if optically thick.

Parameters:
nuemfrequency in the fluid's frame
coordPhoton coordinate
dsemgeometrical length in geometrical units

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDisk, and Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::unsetRmax ( )
virtualinherited

Set rmax_set_ to 0.

getRmax() will then be free to recompute rmax_. Astrobjs which cache rmax_ may need to update it when unsetRmax() is called.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star.


Member Data Documentation

SmartPointer<Gyoto::Metric::Generic> Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::gg_
protectedinherited

The Metric in this end of the Universe

const std::string Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::kind_
protectedinherited

Kind of object (e.g. "Star"...)

The kind should match the name of the class, e.g. "Star" for a Gyoto::Star.

double Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::rmax_
protectedinherited

Maximum distance to the center of the coordinate system.

Maximum distance from the center of the coordinate system at which a photon may hit the object. Child classes may choose to update rmax at all time or to use it to cache the value, for instance when getRmax() is called. External classes (Photons in particular) must use getRmax() to access this information.

rmax_set_==1 means that rmax_ was set using setRmax() or the constructor. In this case, getRmax() must always return this value, not recompute it.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDiskBB.

int Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::rmax_set_
protectedinherited

Never recompute rmax: it was externally set.

rmax_set_==1 means that rmax_ was set using setRmax() or the constructor. In this case, getRmax() must always return this value, not recompute it.

Use unsetRmax() to reset rmax_set_ to 0.
