Coronal loop scaling laws of Martens [Mar10].

Parameters:

  • s (Quantity) – Field-aligned loop coordinate for half of symmetric, semi-circular loop

  • loop_length (Quantity) – Loop half-length

  • heating_constant (astropy.units.Quantity) – Constant of proportionality that relates the actual heating rate to the scaling with temperature and pressure. The actual units will depend on alpha and beta. See Eq. 2 of Martens [Mar10].

  • alpha (float, optional) – Temperature dependence of the heating rate

  • beta (float, optional) – Pressure dependence of the heating rate

  • gamma (float, optional) – Temperature dependence of the radiative loss rate

  • chi (astropy.units.Quantity, optional) – Constant of proportionality relating the actual radiative losses to the scaling with temperature. May need to adjust this based on the value of gamma.
