compton_cooling_rate
(xHII, xHeII, xHeIII, T_m, rs)¶ Returns the Compton cooling rate.
Parameters: - xHII : float
n_HII/n_H.
- xHeII : float
n_HeII/n_H.
- xHeIII : float
n_HeIII/n_H.
- T_m : float
The matter temperature.
- rs : float
The redshift in 1+z.
Returns: - float
The Compton cooling rate in eV/s.
Notes
This is the energy loss rate, not the temperature loss rate.
