Detailed Description¶
spec.dat¶
Column 1: Energy grid values [ev].
Column 2: The external illuminaiton at upper surface [erg/cm2/s/erg/ster].
Column 3: The external illuminaiton at lower surface [erg/cm2/s/erg/ster].
Column 4: The emergent angle-averaged spectrum at lower surface [erg/cm2/s/erg].
Column 5: The emergent angle-averaged spectrum at upper surface [erg/cm2/s/erg].
We record these data for each iterations.
temp.dat¶
Column 1: Thomson optical depth.
Column 2: Plasma temperature at each depth [K].
We record these data for each iterations.
inte.dat¶
Column 1: Energy grid values [ev].
Column 2 through 111: The emergent specific intensity [erg/cm2/s/erg/ster] for each of 10 angle bins [0.05 to 0.95 with linear grids]. Column 2 contains the intensity for the first angle (\(\mu_1\)), Column 3 for the second angle (\(\mu_2\)), and so on.
We record these data for each iterations.
model.log¶
Model log file
abund.fits¶
This ASCII FITS file contains ion abundances as well as heating and cooling rates. Only ions with fractional abundance (relative to its parent element) greater than \(10^{-10}\) (relative to its parent element) are recorded. The elements are ordered by increasing nuclear charge, ions by increasing free charge. See The Abundances Data File: xout_abund1.fits for more details.
We record these data for final results.
