VH-1 X-Ray Software

The software here reads and processes VH-1 output files
to produce plots, movies, and X-ray emission products.
The software is written in S-Lang and is run within the
user's installed ISIS environment.
(It may be useful to copy some or all of the contents of
isisrc.txt into your own ~/.isisrc startup file.)

Current version (.sl files download as .txt, change to .sl)

• vh1xray_130409.sl -- this is the main definition of data and routines.
• Other files, see comments in vh1xray.sl for how they are used:
  mxs_abund_pkg.sl, tetp_equilib_bmin.sl, oplot_common_HHe.sl

User created/edited templates

• mysim_values.sl -- sets the user-defined values (this has been taken from vh1xray.sl).
• dia_mysim.sl -- A convenient, editable "do it all" script to process a simulation

Example output products:

• vhx_plot_step; --> locs_1250.gif , locs_1720.gif
• vhx_plot_cds; --> tycho_rscdfs.ps
• vhx_plot_allsteps; --> convert . . . --> mov_locs.gif
• vhx_calc_shells; --> writes out mass-cut shells files, e.g., shells_1720.txt
• vhx_make_par(720); --> writes out an isis par file, e.g., model_1720.par
  Before loading the par file in isis, do: ()=evalfile("vhx_model_setup");
  e.g., see load_tycho.sl for an example of using the par file in isis.
• vhx_plot_kTtau(290); --> kTtau_1290.ps
• vhx_calc_shellfluxes(65); --> fills shl_fluxes[iEB,ishl]; creates shellfluxes_1065.ps [.txt]
• vhx_calc_allspec; --> writes: par files, spectral plots (spectra_1720.gif), flux-locations file.
• vhx_plot_lightcurve; --> plots fluxes in bands vs time from the flux-loc file, lc_Obs_plot.ps.

Using vh1xray with Event2D/v3d routines

• vhx3d_proj_fluxes.sl -- script to create 3D projections from vhx fluxes
