kerrdisk: accretion disk line emission with BH spin as free parameter

Model for an accretion disk broad emission line with the black hole spin allowed to be a free parameter. A detailed description can be found in Brenneman & Reynolds (2006ApJ...652.1028B).

This model is quite slow so is best used after models such as laor or diskline have been employed to get an estimate of the best-fit parameters.

 

 par1   =  rest frame line energy (keV)

 par2   =  emissivity index for the inner disk

 par3   =  emissivity index for the outer disk

 par4   =  break radius separating the inner and outer portions of the disk (gravitational radii)

 par5   =  dimensionless black hole spin

 par6   =  disk inclination angle to the line of sight (degrees)

 par7   =  inner radius of the disk  in units of the radius of marginal stability

 par8   =  outer radius of the disk  in units of the radius of marginal stability

 par9   =  redshift z

 K       =  flux in line (photons/cm2/s)
