Supernova ConfigurationΒΆ

The supernova component of the configuration file contains some key information about the supernova being modeled:

type

object

properties

  • luminosity_requested

requested output luminosity for simulation

type

quantity

default

1 solLum

  • time_explosion

time since explosion

type

quantity

  • distance

distance to supernova - THIS IS DEPRECATED AND NOT IN USE

type

quantity

  • luminosity_wavelength_start

start of the integral needed for getting the luminosity right

type

quantity

default

0 angstrom

  • luminosity_wavelength_end

start of the integral needed for getting the luminosity right

type

quantity

default

inf angstrom

additionalProperties

False

During a run of TARDIS, we attempt to converge the output spectrum to match the requested luminosity (see Estimators and Convergence).
