TopHatLightcurve

class uvex_transients.models.lightcurves.generic.TopHatLightcurve(**overrides: Parameter | Quantity | float | int)

A constant luminosity for a fixed duration, zero before and after.

\[\begin{split}L(t) = \begin{cases} A & 0 \le t \le \Delta t \\ 0 & t > \Delta t \end{cases}\end{split}\]

The simplest possible pulse shape: a plateau at the peak amplitude \(A\) for a duration \(\Delta t\), with an instantaneous rise and cutoff.

Parameters

The light curve parameters are summarized below.

Parameter	Symbol	Description
amplitude	\(A\)	Plateau bolometric luminosity.
duration	\(\Delta t\)	Duration of the plateau.

Methods

eval_log(t, **parameters)	Natural log of the bolometric luminosity, given physical-unit inputs.
eval_log_cgs(t, **parameters)	Natural log of the bolometric luminosity, taking and returning plain cgs numbers.

items()
keys()
pack_params_to_arrays(**parameters)	Convert a dict of parameter values into an ordered sequence.
sample_parameters([size, rng, parameters])	Draw random samples of some or all of this model's parameters.
simulate(t[, size, rng])	Draw random parameter realizations and evaluate the model at the given time.
