LATEX_WVL_DEM $SSW/packages/chianti/idl/latex_wvl_dem.pro
[Previous] [Next]

 PROJECT:  CHIANTI

       CHIANTI is an Atomic Database Package for Spectroscopic Diagnostics of
       Astrophysical Plasmas. It is a collaborative project involving the Naval
       Research Laboratory (USA), the University of Florence (Italy), the
       University of Cambridge and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). 


 NAME:
	LATEX_WVL_DEM

 PURPOSE:

	create a latex file of predicted spectral line intensities and
       wavelengths corresponding to a selected abundance and differential
       emission measure (DEM)


 PROCEDURE:

                 Calculations are done assuming either constant density or
                 constant pressure. See CH_SYNTHETIC for details.


 CALLING SEQUENCE:

       LATEX_WVL_DEM, Wmin, Wmax, Pressure= , [density= ], $ 
              [outfile= , mini= , sngl_ion=, /photons, /all, /masterlist]


 INPUTS:

	Wmin:   lower limit of the wavelength/energy range of interest (Angstroms)
               if kev keyword set, then wmin is in kev	

	Wmax:   upper limit of the wavelength/energy range of interest (Angstroms)
               if kev keyword set, then wmax is in kev	

       Pressure:  pressure in emitting region (cm^-3 K), or 
       Density:   density in emitting region (cm^-3).


 OPTIONAL INPUTS:


       OUTFILE: the name of the output latex file to be written.
	
	MINI:	Minimum intensity for a line to be included in the output.

	SNGL_ION:  specifies  a single ion (e.g. SNGL_ION='Fe_10' to include
                 only Fe X lines) or an array (e.g. SNGL_ION=['Fe_10','Fe_11']
                 to include only Fe X and Fe XI lines) of ions to be used
                 instead of the complete set of ions specified in
                 !xuvtop/masterlist/masterlist.ions 

       MASTERLIST: string of a specific masterlist file (full path). 
                   If defined as a keyword (i.e. MASTERLIST=1 or /MASTERLIST)
                   then a widget allows the user to select a  user-defined
                   masterlist file. Shortcut for SNGL_ION.   

       RPHOT   Distance from the centre of the star in stellar radius units.
               I.e., RPHOT=1 corresponds to the star's surface. (Default is
               infinity, i.e., no photoexcitation.)

       RADTEMP The blackbody radiation field temperature (default 6000 K).
 

 OUTPUTS:

	a latex file:   'linelist.tex'  in the working directory by default


 OPTIONAL OUTPUTS:

	
 KEYWORD PARAMETERS:

	MINI:	Minimum intensity for a line to be included in the output

	SNGL_ION:  specifies  a single ion (e.g. SNGL_ION='Fe_10' to include
                 only Fe X lines) or an array (e.g. SNGL_ION=['Fe_10','Fe_11']
                 to include only Fe X and Fe XI lines) of ions to be used
                 instead of the complete set of ions specified in
                 !xuvtop/masterlist/masterlist.ions 

       MASTERLIST: string of a specific masterlist file (full path). 
                   If defined as a keyword (i.e. MASTERLIST=1 or /MASTERLIST)
                   then a widget allows the user to select a  user-defined
                   masterlist file. Shortcut for SNGL_ION.   


       PHOTONS:  units will be in photons rather than ergs

       KEV:  wavelengths will be given in kev rather than Angstroms

       ALL:  if set, then all lines are included.  This means that lines for which
             only an approximate wavelength is known (only theoretical energy
             levels are known) are included.


       OUTFILE:  the name of the output latex file to be written. By default a
                file 'linelist.tex' in the user's working  directory will be
                created. 

       NOPROT   If set, then proton rates are not included.

 CATEGORY:

	spectral synthesis.

 WRITTEN     : 

       Version 1, 8-Nov-01, Giulio Del Zanna (GDZ). 

       Compared to the previous LATEX_WVL_DEM, these are the main changes:

       1-Rewritten as a wrapper routine using the new procedures.
       2-Now the PRESSURE value is a keyword.
       3-The calculations can be done at constant DENSITY.
       4-MASTERLIST can now be used both as an input string or as a keyword.


 MODIFICATION HISTORY:

       Version 2, 18-Nov-01, Peter Young
           Added /noprot, rphot and radtemp keywords.

       V. 3, 22-May-2002 GDZ.  Removed const_net definitions.

legendre $SSW/packages/ztools/magnetic/older/legendre.pro
[Previous] [Next]
 NAME:
	legendre
 PURPOSE:
	To calculate the Legendre polynomial for a given number.
 METHOD:
	We cache the coefficients of Legendre polynomials as we calculate them.
	We calculate each polynomial with the formula (given in Jackson, 
 	2nd ed, p. 87):
		P_l(x) = 1 / (2^l l!) (d/dx)^l (x^2 - l)^l

	We treat each set of polynomials as a column vector and cache
	the coefficients in a square array.  This breaks for very high
	values of l -- but factorial breaks for those values anyhow.

 NAME:
 LINE_COMPLEX

 PURPOSE:
 This function returns nuclear line templates weighted by input parameters.
 Based on common block variable status and keyword settings, it will look
 for template files to read.  The template files, energy edges, and
 realization of the templates on the energy edges are all stored in the
 common block LINE_COMPLEX_COM.

 CATEGORY:
 XRAY, GAMMA_RAYS, SPECTRUM, SPEX

 CALLING SEQUENCE:
 complex = line_complex( edges, [1e-3,1e-2], $
   FILE=['template1.txt','template2.txt] )

 INPUTS:
 edges - 2xN energy array - bins to evaluate models on.
 ref_flux - integrated value of each complex

 INPUT KEYWORDS:
 FILE - name(s)/pattern(s) of template file(s) to read.
 PATH - path(s) to search for template file(s).
 UPDATE - force check on line template files.

 OUTPUTS:
 result - photons for each bin

 OUTPUT KEYWORDS:
 err_msg - string containing error message.  Null if no error occurred.
 err_code - [0 / 1] if an error [did / did not] occurr.

 Modification History:
   19-aug-2002, Paul Bilodeau - changed return value to 0. in case of
     error.  N_LINE is now calculated in update_line_templates. 
   21-aug-2002, Paul Bilodeau - error is not returned if the function
     is called without edges or ref_flux.  This corresponds to the
     user wanting to know the number of line templates, forcing an
     update, or both.
   05-nov-2002, Paul Bilodeau - modified to reflect interface change
     for eval_line_complex.

local_mag_extrap $SSW/packages/ztools/magnetic/local_mag_extrap.pro
[Previous] [Next]
 NAME:
	local_mag_extrap
 PURPOSE
 	Do local field extrapolation based on a Green's Function and
	a defined magnetic surface (magnetogram).  Useful for extrapolating
	from a measured magnetogram (rather than a small collection of
	dipoles).
 METHOD
	Takes the Fourier transform of the surface magnetic field
	to extrapolate.  This has almost certainly been done before,
	but hey -- what's wrong with a new wheel?
	
	There's a provision for swappable Green's functions, so you 
	can plug in some other Green's function if you want (eg for
	force-free field with nonzero alpha).  

	Green's functions are cached in an array, so that they don't
	have to be recomputed on multiple runs of the program.
	This may be the Wrong Decision as large caches can eat up
	huge gobs of memory.  Hence, there's a switch to turn it off.

 INPUT PARAMETERS:
	MAG - the magnetogram to extrapolate. 
	Z - Array of (pixel) heights at which to calculate the field.
		Pass in an undefined variable (or one with value 0) 
		variable with value 0 to get out a "guess" array.
 OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
	G_OUT - If specified, this gets the Green's function for each
		layer.

 OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
	VERBOSE - flag to make local_mag_extrap print out what it's doing
	NOCACHE - Flag to not cache anything.   Also purges the current
		cache.

 RETURNS:
	A data hyper cube showing the field value, layerwise.  Indices
	are:  (X,Y,ZInd,Coord) with Zind being the index into pixel
	position using the 'Z' array, and Coord being the index of the
	field components.
