redback.transient_models.afterglow_models.kilonova_afterglow_nakarpiran(time, redshift, loge0, mej, logn0, logepse, logepsb, p, **kwargs)[source]

A kilonova afterglow model based on Nakar & Piran 2011

Parameters:

  • time – time in days in the observer frame

  • redshift – source redshift

  • loge0 – initial kinetic energy in erg of ejecta

  • mej – mass of ejecta in solar masses

  • logn0 – log10 of the number density of the circumburst medium in cm^-3

  • logepse – log10 of the fraction of energy given to electrons

  • logepsb – log10 of the fraction of energy given to the magnetic field

  • p – electron power law index

  • kwargs – Additional keyword arguments

  • output_format – Whether to output flux density or AB mag

  • frequency – frequency in Hz for the flux density calculation

  • cosmology – Cosmology to use for luminosity distance calculation. Defaults to Planck18. Must be a astropy.cosmology object.

Returns:

flux density or AB mag. Note this is going to give the monochromatic magnitude at the effective frequency for the band. For a proper calculation of the magntitude use the sed variant models.
