spectrum#

The spectrum of an optically thin plasma, from the CHIANTI atomic database.

Functions

contribution_function(ion, density, ...[, ...])

Compute the contribution function of every line of an ion.

ions([wavelength_min, wavelength_max, ...])

Find the ions worth computing over a range of wavelengths.

lines(temperature, density, emission_measure)

Compute the emission lines of an optically thin plasma, brightest first.

spectroscopic(ion[, latex])

Write the name of an ion the way a spectroscopist writes it.

stem(spectrum[, ax, num_label, latex, ...])

Draw a spectrum as a stem from zero for each line, and label the brightest of them with the ion which emitted them.

synthesize(contribution, temperature, mass, ...)

Compute the spectral radiance of an optically thin plasma, line by line.
