transmission_radius_isothermal_isobaric#

shone.transmission.transmission_radius_isothermal_isobaric(kappa, R_0, P_0, T_0, mmw, g)[source]#

Compute the radius spectrum for planet observed in transmission with an isothermal atmosphere.

Uses the simple approximation from Heng & Kitzmann (2017) [1].

Parameters:

  • kappa (array) – Opacity [cm^2/g] as a function of wavelength.

  • R_0 (float) – Reference radius [cm].

  • P_0 (float) – Reference pressure [bar].

  • T_0 (float) – Reference temperature [K].

  • mmw (float) – Mean molecular weight [AMU].

  • g (float) – Surface gravity [cm / s^2], assumed to be uniform with height.

Returns:

transmission_radius – Transmission radius [cm] as a function of wavelength.

Return type:

array
