In running some of the titarchuck_mono models, I found that all photons were being absorbed. The reason for this was that for some of these models (which are highly non-physical), the opacity associated with induced Compton was very large. This was because the luminosity of the central source was high, and the radiation temperature of the plasma was low, and hence W was very large.
What happened was all of the photons were characterized as "absorbed". To make the problem go away, one needed to reduce the luminosity of the central source, so that induced Compton was not a problem.
It is not obvious that one wants to change the behavior of the program, but some kind of clear warning that induced Compton is affecting the outcome is at a minimum needed.
