synthesizer.emissions.line_ratios

A module holding useful line ratios.

This contains both line ratios and diagnostic diagrams for emission line. As well as including the standard line labels for common lines.

Line ids and specifically the wavelength part here are defined using the cloudy standard, i.e. using vacuum wavelengths at <200nm and air wavelengths at >200nm.

Functions

synthesizer.emissions.line_ratios.get_bpt_kauffman03(logNII_Ha)[source]

BPT-NII demarcations from Kauffman+2003.

Kauffman+03: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0304239

Demarcation defined by:

log([OIII]/Hb) = 0.61 / (log([NII]/Ha) - 0.05) + 1.3

Parameters:

logNII_Ha (array) – Array of log([NII]/Halpha) values to give the SF-AGN demarcation line

Returns:

array

Corresponding log([OIII]/Hb) ratio array

synthesizer.emissions.line_ratios.get_bpt_kewley01(logNII_Ha)[source]

BPT-NII demarcations from Kewley+2001.

Kewley+03: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0106324

Demarcation defined by:

log([OIII]/Hb) = 0.61 / (log([NII]/Ha) - 0.47) + 1.19

Parameters:

logNII_Ha (array) – Array of log([NII]/Halpha) values to give the SF-AGN demarcation line

Returns:

array

Corresponding log([OIII]/Hb) ratio array

synthesizer.emissions.line_ratios.get_diagram_labels(diagram_id)[source]

Get a x and y labels for a given diagram_id.

Parameters:

Returns:

xlabel (str)

A string representation of the x-label.

ylabel (str)
