Detailed Description

Function Documentation

blackbodyLuminosity()

template<typename T >

T EGXPhys::blackbodyLuminosity	(	const T &	area,
		const T &	tempreture
	)

Calculates the luminosity in watts of a black body.

\[L=\sigma*A*T^4\]

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity

Parameters

area	A(m^2) is the area of black body
tempreture	T(K) is tempreture of black body

Returns

Luminosity L(W) for a black body

radioLuminosity()

template<typename T >

T EGXPhys::radioLuminosity	(	const T &	fluxDensity,
		const T &	luminosityDistance,
		const T &	redshift,
		const T &	spectralIndex
	)

Calculates the radio luminosity in W/Hz of a radio source.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity#Radio_luminosity.

Parameters

fluxDensity	(W*m^2/Hz) is observed flux density
luminosityDistance	(m) is the luminosity distance. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity_distance.
redshift	(dimensionless) for a black body. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift.
spectralIndex	(dimensionless). The spectral index is typically -0.7.

Returns

Radio luminosity (W/Hz) of a radio source.
