redback.transient_models.supernova_models.general_magnetar_driven_supernova_bolometric(time, mej, E_sn, kappa, l0, tau_sd, nn, kappa_gamma, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters:

  • time – time in observer frame in days

  • mej – ejecta mass in solar units

  • E_sn – supernova explosion energy

  • kappa – opacity

  • l0 – initial magnetar X-ray luminosity (Is this not the spin-down luminosity?)

  • tau_sd – magnetar spin down damping timescale (days? seconds?)

  • nn – braking index

  • kappa_gamma – gamma-ray opacity used to calculate magnetar thermalisation efficiency

  • kwargs – Additional parameters - Must be all the kwargs required by the specific interaction_process used e.g., for Diffusion: kappa, kappa_gamma, vej (km/s)

  • pair_cascade_switch – whether to account for pair cascade losses, default is True

  • albedo (ejecta) – ejecta albedo; default is 0.5

  • pair_cascade_fraction – fraction of magnetar luminosity lost to pair cascades; default is 0.05

  • output_format – whether to output flux density or AB magnitude

  • f_nickel – Ni^56 mass as a fraction of ejecta mass

Returns:

bolometric luminsoity or dynamics output
