lineLum {cosmoFns}

Line luminosity

Description

Compute rest-frame line luminosity.

Usage

lineLum(intInt, z, f.rest = 115.27, omega.m = 0.27, omega.lambda = 0.73, H.0 = 71)

Arguments

intInt

Integrated intensity in Jy km/s

z

Redshift

f.rest

Line rest frequency in GHz

omega.m

Omega matter parameter

omega.lambda

Omega lambda parameter

H.0

Hubble constant in km/s/Mpc

Value

Rest-frame line luminosity in solar luminosities.

Note

For flat universe, omega.k = 0.
