Central_object.geometry_for_source

Setting the geometry model of the AGN/BH’s radiation. This is only specified if Central_object.radiation is set to yes. 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.

bubble

The central source radiates from random positions within a sphere of a given radius. This model generates isotropic photons.
