Central_object.geometry_for_source
- If the central source in an AGN/BH system is radiating, what geometry should it radiate from?
This is applicable even for black-body sources, where the luminosity depends on Central_object.radius.
- Type
Enumerator
- Values
- lamp_post
The central source radiates from two point sources located on the system axis above and below the disk plane. Emission is completely isotropic.
- sphere
The central source radiates from a spherical surface with radius Central_object.radius. Emission is cosine-weighted in the direction of the sphere normal at the point of emission. Photons that would be spawned in an extended disk (if Disk.type is vertically.extended) are re-generated.
