The Solar Abundance Table #52

Closed tekkamanmaverick closed 1 year ago

tekkamanmaverick commented 1 year ago

Hi John,

Could you append Wiersma et al. to the Solar abundance table in pyXSIM? This abundances were used in Eagle and Illustris.

Thand you and best wishes.

@tekkamanmaverick I think that this is automatically included with the Cloudy abundances in pyXSIM/SOXS (setting abund_table="cl17.03"). Let me know if not. The problem with using the Wiersma et al. table by itself is that it doesn't include all of the elements SOXS needs to populate.

Hi John,

Thanks for your kindly reply. I don't think the Wiersma et al. table is cl17.03. The Cloudy version they used is 07.02. For example, the C and the S abundance are different. You can compare the Table 1 of Wiersma et al. and the cl17.03 defined in SOXS. Nelson et al. said: "To convert to solar metallicity, divide by 0.0127 (the primordial solar metallicity)."
