Detailed Description

Complex astronomical object.

A Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic whic contain several
Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic instances. It is essentially a
SmartPointer<Astrobj::Generic> array, which some methods
arround. Indeed, the operator[](size_t i) method is implemented to retrived
the i-th element.

In an XML description, the <Astrobj> section must be unique, its kind is "Complex". Each sub-astrobj then appears as a <SubAstrobj> subsection:

<Astrobj kind = "Complex">
<SubAstrobj kind = "ThinInfiniteDiskBL"/>
<SubAstrobj kind = "Star">
<Radius> 2. </Radius>

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().


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex::~Complex ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Frees every SmartPointer<Astrobj::Generic> before freed the array itself.


Member Function Documentation

void Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex::append ( Gyoto::SmartPointer< Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic element)

Add element at the end of the array.

If the Astrobj::Complex itself does not have a metric already assigned, it takes it from the new element. Else, it sets the metric in the new element to its own. This ensures that all elements use the same metric (this heuristic is not entirely fool-proof, it's safer to set the metric directly in the Astrobj::Complex).

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 double Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::emission ( double  nu_em,
double  dsem,
double  coord_ph[8],
double  coord_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
virtualinherited

INVARIANT emission j_{}/^{2}.

 Called by the default implementation for processHitQuantities().

 emission() computes the intensity I_nu emitted by the small
 volume of length dsem. It should take self-absorption along dsem
 into account.

 Reminder :
  - intensity = I_nu [erg cm^-2 s^-1 ster^-1 Hz^-1];
  - invariant intensity = I_nu/nu^3, which has the same value in any frame;
  - emission coefficient = j_nu [erg cm^-3 s^-1 ster^-1 Hz^-1] ,
            defined by dI_nu = j_nu*ds, where ds is the distance
            travelled by the photon inside the object;
  - invariant emission coef = j_nu/nu^2, which has the same value
            in any frame.

 The equation used for radiative transfer (without absorption) is:
                      d(I_nu/nu^3)/dlambda = (j_nu/nu^2)  [*]
  where lambda is the integration parameter along the null geodesic.
NB: Let us consider a particular observer, 
    with nu being the frequency measured by this observer,
    and ds being the proper distance (as measured by the observer) 
    that the photon travels as it moves
    from lambda to lambda+dlambda along its geodesic.
    Then it can be shown that :
                    dlambda = ds/nu
    This shows that Eq. [*] is homogeneous.
 The default implementation returns 1. if optically thick and dsem
 if optically thin. It allows for a quick implementation of your
 object for visualization purposes.

 \param nu_em Frequency at emission
 \param dsem length over which to integrate inside the object
 \param coord_ph Photon coordinate
 \param coord_obj Emitter coordinate at current photon position

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

called from Factory

Astrobj implementations should impement fillElement to save their parameters to XML and call the generic implementation to save generic parts such as Flag_radtrans: Generic::fillElement(fmp).

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

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 int Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex::Impact ( Gyoto::Photon ph,
size_t  index,
Astrobj::Properties data = NULL 
)
virtual

Call Impact() for each of the elements.

Astrobj::Complex::Impact(Gyoto::Photon* ph, size_t index, Astrobj::Properties *data) calls the specific implementation of Astrobj::Generic::Impact() for each of its elements twice: the first time, data is set to NULL so that Astrobj::Complex::Impact() only knows whether each object is hit by the Photon. If no object is hit, return. If a single object is hit, call Impact() again only for this object, passing data this time. If several objects are hit, the Photon's trajectory is refined so that the step is at most step_max_ and the Impact() methods for each of the hit objects are called again for each step, passing data. It is therefore important that the transmission of the Photon is not touched by Impact() when data==NULL.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

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

^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 in Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere, and Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus.

Gyoto::SmartPointer<Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic> Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex::operator[] ( size_t  i)

Retrieve i-th element.

 This should work as expected:
SmartPointer<Astrobj::Complex> cplx;
SmartPointer<Astrobj::TypeA> objA;
SmartPointer<Astrobj::TypeB> objB;
cplx -> append(objA);
cplx[0] = objB;
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 int Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::setParameter ( std::string  name,
std::string  content 
)
virtualinherited

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 in Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::Disk3D, Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard, Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, Gyoto::Astrobj::ThinDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::UniformSphere, Gyoto::Astrobj::DynamicalDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus, Gyoto::Astrobj::Disk3D_BB, Gyoto::Astrobj::FixedStar, Gyoto::Astrobj::ThinDiskPL, and Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDiskBB.

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

Main loop in Subcontractor_t function.

 The Subcontractor_t function for each Astrobj kind should look
 somewhat like this:
SmartPointer<Astrobj::Generic>
Gyoto::Astrobj::MyKind::Subcontractor(FactoryMessenger* fmp) {
SmartPointer<MyKind> ao = new MyKind();
ao -> setParameters(fmp);
return ao;
}
 Each object kind should implement setParameter(string name,
 string content) to interpret the individual XML
 elements. setParameters() can be overloaded in case the specific
 Astrobj class needs low level access to the FactoryMessenger. See
 UniformSphere::setParameters().

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

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.

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.
