Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Dust::ThinShell::ThinShell	(	double *	energy,
		double *	lum,
		double	R,
		size_t	n
	)

Construct from pointers to energy , specific luminosity arrays. Energy array should be in units of Joules. SLum array should be in units dL(E) / dE , i.e., the units of s^-1

References energies, and speclum.

Dust::ThinShell::ThinShell	(	std::valarray< double > &	energies,
		std::valarray< double > &	speclum,
		double	R
	)

Construct from valarrays

The Specific Energy density. E must be specified in the units of Joules (using SI throughout). More precisely this is energy per unit volume per unit energy interval. At some time I convinced my self that this is equivalent to the (number of photons) m^-3, but not sure any more. Anyway, u_E dE than has the units of J m^-3. Conversion to flux can be done using the speed of light. (inerited from UnaryDD)
