Corona Parameters

Corona.radmax

The corona is a box-shaped region which sits immediately above the disk. radmax defines the outer edge of the box.

Corona.vel_frac

For the coronal model, the azimuthal velocity is given by the velocity of the underlying disk. One can also give the corona a radial velocity, which is a fraction of the disk velocity. (As coded, if this number is positive, the velicty is the r direction is toward the central object).

Type

Double

Unit

Disk velocity

Values

Any, 0 implies no radial velocity.
