blackbody_lambda¶

astropy.analytic_functions.blackbody.blackbody_lambda(in_x, temperature)[source] [edit on github]¶

Like blackbody_nu() but for \(B_{\lambda}(T)\).

Parameters:

in_x : number, array-like, or Quantity

Frequency, wavelength, or wave number. If not a Quantity, it is assumed to be in Angstrom.

temperature : number, array-like, or Quantity

Blackbody temperature. If not a Quantity, it is assumed to be in Kelvin.

Returns:

flux : Quantity

Blackbody monochromatic flux in \(erg \; cm^{-2} s^{-1} \AA^{-1} sr^{-1}\).
