Hi, you should increase the number of points in the IC component, in this version the default version is 50. I am attaching a script done with the pre-release of 1.2.0 that mimics 1.1.2, and that should work with 1.1.2. Jetset reproduces all the spectral components on the same grid (for a given model), and points below a given source emissivity lower bound are set to the lower bound value (the default is 1E-120). Having the same grids allows to combine the spectral components easily. This explain the sharp 'cut-off' in the plot. In v 1.2.0 these settings are more relaxed for the user. By the way, you should test with the new version that I will release soon "v.1.2.0". You can send me the tests and I will send you back the results fo this and other scripts for v.1.2.0. Or if you want you can use the pre-release. Also checking the actual synchrotron kernel might be relevant to these tests.

Thanks for the clarification @andreatramacere,
I regenerated the plot with a larger IC_nu_grid
.
I have a script that I run manually to generate the jetset
reference SEDs.
https://github.com/cosimoNigro/agnpy/blob/master/agnpy/data/reference_seds/jetset/jetset_ssc_seds.py
The tests of agnpy take care of comparing the two automatically.
So I will re-generate the jetset reference SEDs once you make the 1.2.0
release. I am not in a hurry.
You can close this, thanks.
Dear @andreatramacere,
I was making some comparison plots between
agnpy
,jetset
(version 1.1.2) and some reference data I had. The SSC of jetset always shows a cutoff at high frequencies, compared toagnpy
and to the reference SED.Can you clarify to what it is due and how can I obtain a smoother SSC SED? Here the snippet of code I use to compute that SED - parameters are set accordingly to the reference SED:
is there some cutoff you are imposing in the numerical calculation?
As always, thanks a lot!
P.S. maybe "cutoff" is not the proper term, I just mean that the SED flux goes abruptly to zero after a given frequency.
