redback.transient_models.combined_models.afterglow_and_optical

redback.transient_models.combined_models.afterglow_and_optical(time, redshift, av, **model_kwargs)[source]

function to combine the signals of any afterglow and any other optical transient with extinction added

Parameters:

  • time – time in days in observer frame

  • redshift – source redshift

  • av – V-band extinction from host galaxy in magnitudes

  • model_kwargs – kwargs shared by models frequency and r_v (extinction paramater defaults to 3.1)

  • afterglow_kwargs – dictionary of parameters required by the afterglow transient model specified by ‘base_model’ and any additional keyword arguments. Refer to model documentation for details.

  • optical_kwargs – dictionary of parameters required by the optical transient model specifed by ‘base_model’ and any additional keyword arguments. Note the base model must correspond to the given model type. Refer to model documentation for details.

Returns:

flux density signal with extinction added
