Output files ============ When ``BowshockPy`` is run from the terminal :doc:`using an input file <../examples/examples_inputfile>`, it will create the path ``models/`` if it does not exist already. Then, it will save there several files: - *.py*: A copy of the input file used to generate the model. - *bowshock_model_.pdf*: A plot depicting the morphology and kinematics of the bowshock *n*, being *n* the index of the bowshock; i.e., if three bowshocks are included in the model, there will be three plots, one for each bowshock: *bowshock_model_1.pdf*, *bowshock_model_2.pdf*, and *bowshock_model_3.pdf*. - *bowshock_projected_.jpg*: A plot depicting the projected morphology and kinematics of the bowshock with index *n*. - *bowshock_cube_.pdf*: A plot with the channel maps of the spectra cube named *cubename*. - *momentsandpv_and_params_.pdf*: If specified in **outcubes** parameter, ``BowshockPy`` will also compute the moments and position-velocity diagram from the spectral cubes. - Fits files: The spectral cubes will be saved in fits format within ``models//fits`` folder. The filename of each cube is an abbreviation of its quantity and the operations performed to it (_.fits). The next tables shows the abbrevations used in the filename of the cubes for their quantities and the operations: .. list-table:: Quantities of the output fits files :widths: 10 6 5 :header-rows: 1 * - Quantity - Abbreviation - Unit * - Mass - m - solar mass * - Column density (H\ :sub:`2`\ + heavier components) - Ntot - cm-2 * - Column density emitting molecule - Nmol - cm-2 * - Opacities - tau - * - Intensity - I - Jy/beam .. list-table:: Operations that can be performed to the cubes :widths: 10 4 :header-rows: 1 * - Operation - Abbreviation * - add_source - s * - rotate - r * - add_noise - n * - convolve - c For example, the cube I_nc.fits, is a cube of the intensities (I) with Gaussian noise (n) and convolved (c). The operation "rotate" is performed internally before computing the position-velocity diagram. Plots of the morphology and kinematics of the bowshock ------------------------------------------------------ For each bowshock, a plot named *bowshock_model_.pdf* will be generated with the morphology and kinematics of the bowshock model. At the left, the input parameters of the bowshock are shown: v_j is the velocity of the internal working surface, v_0 is the velocity at which the jet material is ejected sideways from the internal working surface, va is the velocity of the ambient, L_0 is the characteristic scale, z_j is the position of the internal working surface from the origin, r_b,f is the final radius of the bowshock, and m is the mass of the bowshock shell. In addition, four parameters has been derived: t_j is the dynamical time of the bowshock, rho_a is the ambient density, mdot_0 is the rate of jet material ejected sideways from the internal working surface, and mdot_a,f is the rate of ambient material incorporated into the bowshock shell. .. figure:: images/bowshock_model_1.jpg Bowshock model. This figure will be generate for each bowshock included in the cube. Plots of the projected morphology and kinematics of the bowshock ---------------------------------------------------------------- For each bowshock, a plot named *bowshock_projected_.jpg* will be generated showing the projected morphology and kinematics of the bowshock shell. On the upper left panel, the input parameters are listed, where i is the inclination angle of the bowshock symmetry axis with the line-of-sight and vsys is the systemic velocity of the source. .. figure:: images/bowshock_projected_1.jpg Projection of bowshock model. This figure will be generate for each bowshock included in the cube. Plots of the channel maps ------------------------- A plot with a selection of channel maps, named *bowshock_cube_.pdf*, will be generated. .. figure:: images/bowshock_cube_I_nc.jpg Channel maps of the bowshock model. Plot of the moments and position velocity diagrams -------------------------------------------------- If specified in the input parameter **outcubes** (see :doc:`input file parameters ` section), a plot with the moments and position velocity diagram, named *momentsandpv_and_params_.pdf*, will be generated. .. figure:: images/momentsandpv_and_params_I_nc.jpg Moments and position-velocity diagram of the spectral cube. Fits files ---------- The cubes in fits files format will be saved in ``models//fits``, and they can be open with ``casaviewer``, ``CARTA``, or ``ds9``. .. figure:: images/channel_casaviewer.png Channel map visualized with ``casaviewer``. .. figure:: images/PV_casaviewer.png Position-Velocity diagram visualized with ``casaviewer``.
