par1 | mass, black hole mass in solar masses |
par2 | Dco, COMOVING distance - as in optxagnf! |
par3 | logL/LEdd, log (accretion power / Eddington luminosity) |
Parameter 3 is the DISC luminosity, for external Comptonization. THIS IS SET TO ZERO for as the accretion flow is assumed to make a transition to an Advection dominated state. For the disc luminosity is set by the black hole mass and so . The peak temperature of the disc is set by equation 1 in GT09 i.e. black hole spin has no effect.
Parameters 4-7 determine the physical parameters of the jet and its boost
par4 | thetaobs, inclination angle (deg) between the jet axis and line of sight |
par5 | BulkG, bulk lorentz factor of the jet |
par6 | phi, angular size scale (radians) of the jet acceleration region as seen from the black hole - all this does is relate the jet acceleration region size scale to its height above the black hole via |
par7 | zdiss, distance from the black hole of the jet dissipation region (this corresponds to in G10: it is renamed to zdiss to show explictly that this is a vertical distance. Also, units are instead of as used in G10) |
Parameters 8-14 are all in the jet frame
par8 | B, Magnetic field in the jet (Gauss) |
par9 | logPrel, log of the power injected in relativisitic particles (ergs/s) |
par10 | gmininj, minimum lorentz factor of the injected electrons |
par11 | gbreak, lorentz factor of the break in injected electron distribution |
par12 | gmax, maximum lorentz factor |
par13 | s1, injected index of the electron distribution below the break |
par14 | s2, injected index of the electron distribution above the break |
par15 | z, cosmological redshift corresponding to the comoving distance of parameter 2 |
norm | MUST BE FIXED AT UNITY as the jet spectrum normalisation is set by the relativisitic particle power. |
The code works on its own energy grid, from 107 Hz to 1028 Hz. It calculates the total spectrum, summing up the synchrotron emission, together with the self-Compton, EC disc, EC X-ray corona, EC BLR, EC X-ray reflection from BLR and EC torus components, using the seed photon densities assumed in GT09. These individual components can be written out individually (see e.g. Kynoch et al. (2017)), by editing the code and uncommenting out lines which write(2,*). This produces file fort.2 in the directory where xspec is being run.
The individual seed photon densities within the jet can likewise be extracted from the code by uncommenting lines which write(3,*). Perhaps more useful is the self consistent electron distribution, N, which can be written out by uncommenting out lines which write(908,*) - writing to file 908.
The code writes out to the screen the components of jet power in the observers frame:
Pr | radiation |
Pb | magnetic field |
Pe | kinetic power in electrons |
Pp | kinetic power in protons (assuming one cold proton per electron) |
Pj | total jet power, the sum of all the above |
