balmer_decrement

Runs tests of the Balmer decrement for a one zone thin shell Sirocco model.

Involves running swind on a wind_save file and reading some output files. Compares to Osterbrock values.

Usage:

  • python balmer_decrement.py root_filename

  • python balmer_decrement.py -h for help

Requirements:

swind numpy matplotlib py_plot_util, py_read_output from $SIROCCO/py_progs in the python path

Notes

This routine is a routine to check the results of running a one zone model intended to produce the Balmer decrements. It does not run the model but merely checks it
