We created a function to calculate effective temperature at a given radius (eq 5.43 accretion power in astrophysics)
We then also calculated the blackbody spectral irradiance at each radius. (eq 5.44.2) which gave us a energy density for each radius in our model.
we then attempted to find a way to integrate the spectral irradiance over the entire disk, however ran into issues here as the radii, and almost all other values in our model are discrete. Do we assume that with a large amount of radii, the disk can be treated almost as a continuous system?
