Use Custom Abundances

Custom isotopologue abundances can be defined, to model non-terrestrial atmospheres.

Abundances are read and set directly in the SpectrumFactory using the get_abundance() and set_abundance() methods.

Below, we compute a CO2 spectrum with custom abundances for the two main terrestrial isotopes (12C-16O2 ; 13C-16O2)

Missing doi for CDSD-HITEMP. Use HITEMP-2010?

To explicitly identify the isotopes we can use the molparam attribute the Factory

print(sf.molparam.get("CO2", 1, "isotope_name"))  # >> (12C)(16O)2
print(sf.molparam.get("CO2", 2, "isotope_name"))  # >> (13C)(16O)2

(12C)(16O)2
(13C)(16O)2

Print the default abundance of the CO2 isotopes, compute a spectrum

print("Abundance of CO2[1,2]", sf.get_abundance("CO2", [1, 2]))
sf.eq_spectrum(2000).plot("abscoeff")

Set the abundance of CO2(626) to 0.8; and the abundance of CO2(636) to 0.2 (arbitrary):

sf.set_abundance("CO2", [1, 2], [0.8, 0.2])
print("New abundance of CO2[1,2]", sf.get_abundance("CO2", [1, 2]))

sf.eq_spectrum(2000).plot("abscoeff", nfig="same")
