Analytical Models

Built-in geometries set from a handful of parameters, with no external data. Useful for benchmarks, parameter sweeps, and as toy models for the radiative transfer at play in more complex configurations.

Geometry Description
Spherical Shell Uniform spherical shell (static or outflowing); the classic expanding-shell Lyα model
Power-Law Shell Spherical shell with radial power-law density and velocity profiles
Infinite Slab 1-D slab along z; the analytic Neufeld (1990) benchmark, with optional dust
Slab with a Hole Anisotropic slab with a clear channel for hole vs. slab Lyα escape (AMG24)
