Network

jaff.core.network.Network

The Network class is the most important class in JAFF. It reads a reaction network file, auto-detects its format, validates mass and charge conservation, and assembles the full species and reaction catalogues along with stoichiometry matrices. It also handles optional radiation transport, photochemistry cross-sections, and auxiliary function files.

Constructor

Network(fname, errors=False, label=None, funcfile=None, replace_nH=True, rad_bands=[], rad_powerlaw_index=0, rad_energy_density=False, c=constants.c.cgs.value)

Parameters

fname : str or Path

Path to network file. Supported formats: KIDA, UDFA, PRIZMO, KROME, UCLCHEM, a combination of the above and the .jaff file (Refer to to_jaff for more details).

errors : bool, optional

Exit on validation errors. Default False.

label : str or None, optional

Network identifier. Defaults to the file stem.

funcfile : str, Path, or None, optional

Path to .jfunc auxiliary functions file. None auto-searches; "none" skips.

replace_nH : bool, optional

Replace nH/nHe symbols with species density sums. Default True.

rad_bands : list, optional

Radiation band boundaries enabling radiation transport. Default [].

rad_powerlaw_index : int or float, optional

Spectral power-law index. Default 0.

rad_energy_density : bool, optional

Interpret radiation as energy density. Default False.

c : float, optional

Speed of light in CGS. Default constants.c.cgs.value.

Raises

FileNotFoundError

If fname does not exist.
