CUBA Class¶

Notebooks¶

This Class is designed to interface with the somewhat cumbersome output of CUBA. It may then be used to perform EUVB calculations.

The CUBA Class is instantiated with a CUBA file. If one is not provided, a default file from within the package is loaded.:

from pyigm.euvb import cuba as pycuba
cuba = pycuba.CUBA()

Variable	Type	Description
z	ndarray	Redshifts of the evaluation
wave	Quantity array	Wavelengths of the evaluation
Jnu	Quantity array	Intensity of the EUVB

One can generate a quick plot at a given redshift with:

cuba.plot(z)

The intensity may be evaluated at any redshift with this method:

jnu = cuba.zinterp_jnu(z)

The ionizing photon flux may be calculated with this method, again at a given redshift:

phi = cuba.phi(z)

A future method will be provided to generate a file that may be used with Cloudy.
