models.radiativeTransfer#
A subpackage to integrate the radiative transfer equation from a given position.
\[\mathrm{d}T_\mathrm{B, \nu} = -T_\mathrm{B, \nu}(0) \kappa_\nu \mathrm{d}s + \epsilon_\nu \mathrm{d}s\]
This form of the radiative transfer equation assumes we are in a regime where the Rayleigh-Jeans law applies (such that \(h \nu << k T_\mathrm{exc}\)).
This subpackage is intended to be run separately from the full
three-dimensional kosmatau3d model.
There are a selection of options available that can simplify the calculation,
but currently only the 'disk' option for the Milky Way is tested:.
