Detailed Description

Optically thin or thick torus in circular rotation.

Any Metric::Generic is acceptable as long as it implements Metric::Generic::circularVelocity().

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

Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::Torus ( )

Default constructor.

kind_ = "Torus", c_ = 3.5, a_=0.5

Member Function Documentation

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::Torus::emission ( double  nu_em,
double  dsem,
double  coord_ph[8],
double  coord_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
protectedvirtual

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.

Parameters
nu_emFrequency at emission
dsemlength over which to integrate inside the object
coord_phPhoton coordinate
coord_objEmitter coordinate at current photon position

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).

double Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::getLargeRadius ( ) const

Get large radius c_

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

Get the Metric

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star.

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::getRmax ( )
virtual

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 from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

double Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::getSmallRadius ( ) const

Get small radius a_

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::getVelocity ( double const  pos[4],
double  vel[4] 
)
protectedvirtual

Used by Standard::Impact().

Fill vel with the 4-vector velocity of the fluid at 4-position pos.

Parameters
posinput, 4-position at which to compute velocity;
veloutput, 4-velocity at pos.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

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::Torus::operator() ( double const  coord[4])
virtual

A potential, distance, or whatever function such that operator()(double coord[4]) < critical_value_ if and only if coord is inside the object. This function is used by the default implmenetation of Impact(). If Impact() is overloaded, it is not necessary to overload operator()(double coord[4]). The default implementation throws an error.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

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::Torus::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.

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::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 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

double Gyoto::Astrobj::Torus::c_

Large Radius.

Distance from the center of the coordinate system to the center of the torus tube. The (square of the) radius of a vertical cross-section is stored in critical_value_.

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.

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.
