How to Access Physical Quantities¶

In order to compute the synthetic spectrum, TARDIS must either be told or must calculate many physical properties of the model. To understand and test the code it can be important to look at these values. One easy way to do this is to run TARDIS in an interactive mode and then inspect the model properties.

If all goes well, the simulation should run as usual. Afterwards, the information from the simulation will all exist in Simulation and can be examined. Some examples for useful/interesting quantities are given below (but much more information is available: contact us via tardis-sn-users if you need further help).

Examples of finding physical quantities¶

For example, two of our important quantities are the parameters of the radiation field model, $T_{\rm rad}$ and $W$. These exist as numpy.ndarray

Thus simulation.plasma.t_rad will give you a list of the $T_{\rm rad}$-values for the model zones in cgs units.

Several important quantities that were setup when the model was defined by the configuration file are located in the model section of the simulation. For example, the inner and outer velocity boundaries of the zones in the model is given by simulation.simulation_state.v_inner.cgs and simulation.simulation_state.v_outer.cgs respectively. These exist as Astropy Quantities.

Many other interesting quantities are stored in the plasma. For example the calculated ion populations and level populations is given by simulation.plasma.ion_number_density and simulation.plasma.level_number_density respectively.

These are stored as Pandas DataFrames. An index can be supplied to obtain the population in a particular zone. E.g., for the ion populations of the innermost zone (index = 0), we will use simulation.plasma.ion_number_density[0]

[10]:

simulation.plasma.ion_number_density[0]

Ion populations for a particular ionization stage of a particular element can be accessed by specifying an appropriate tuple (𝑍,𝐶), which identifies the element (via atomic number 𝑍 ) and the charge (via the ion charge 𝐶 ). Thus, simulation.plasma.ion_number_density.loc[14,1] will identify the ion popuations for Si II (𝑍=14,𝐶=1) in all the zones.

The above examples can be combined to obtain e.g. the Si II population in the innermost zone can be obtained by simulation.plasma.ion_number_density[0].loc[14,1]

[12]:

simulation.plasma.ion_number_density[0].loc[14,1]

[12]:

70833.16350200505

The level populations are stored (and can be accessed) in a similar way - a third label can be used to pick out a particular atomic level. E.g., to pull out the population of the ground state (index 0) of Si II we can use simulation.plasma.level_number_density.loc[14,1,0]

simulation.plasma.level_number_density.loc[14,1,0]

Notes¶

If you prefer to work in SI units, all the Astropy Quantities may instead by accessed with “xxx.si”.
Information that is not stored as Astropy Quantities (e.g. the ion and level populations used in the example above) are usually stored in cgs units (i.e. cm−3 for the populations).
