class SourcePulsarDistribution : public SourceFeature 

Source distribution following the Galactic pulsar distribution.

A logarithmic spiral with four arms is used for the radial distribution. The z-distribution is a simple exponentially decaying distribution. The pulsar distribution is explained in detail in C.-A. Faucher-Giguere and V. M. Kaspi, ApJ 643 (May, 2006) 332. The radial distribution is parametrized as in Blasi and Amato, JCAP 1 (Jan., 2012) 10.

Public Functions

SourcePulsarDistribution(): Default constructor. Default parameters are: . rEarth = 8.5 kpc . beta = 3.53 . zg = 300 pc . Rmax = 22 kpc . Zmax = 5 kpc . rBlur = 0.07 . thetaBlur = 0.35 / kpc

SourcePulsarDistribution(double rEarth, double beta, double zg, double rBlur, double thetaBlur)

Generic constructor

Parameters:

rEarth – distance from Earth to the Galactic centre [in meters]
beta – parameter that shifts radially the maximum of the distributions
zg – exponential cut-off parameter in the z-direction [in meters]
rBlur – relative smearing factor for radius
thetaBlur – smearing factor for the angle [in 1 / meters]
