redback.transient_models.shock_powered_models.shockcooling_sapirandwaxman_bolometric(time, v_shock, m_env, f_rho_m, radius, kappa, **kwargs)[source]

Bolometric lightcurve following the Sapir & Waxman (and Rabinak & Waxman) model.

Parameters:

  • time – time in source frame in days

  • v_shock – shock speed in km/s

  • m_env – envelope mass in solar masses

  • f_rho_m – f_rho * M (with M in solar masses). f_rho is typically, of order unity

  • radius – star/envelope radius in units of 10^13 cm

  • kappa – opacity in cm^2/g

  • kwargs – Additional parameters required by model

  • n – index of progenitor density profile, 1.5 (default) or 3.0

  • RW – If True, use the simplified Rabinak & Waxman formulation (off by default)

Returns:

bolometric luminosity in erg/s
