The NASA/GSFC network is currently experiencing intermittent issues that affect our services. We are working on it and apologize for the inconvenience.
The offline tool hark (also on github) can be used to find and download data from the cloud.

kyrline: relativistic line from axisymmetric accretion disk

Relativistic line emission from an axisymmetic accretion disk. See Dovciak et al. (2004).

par1 a/M; BH angular momentum (GM/c)
par2 theta_o; observer inclination (0 = pole on, degrees)
par3 rin; inner radius (GM/c$^2$)
par4 ms; 0 means integrate from rin, 1 means integrate emission from above the marginally stable orbit only
par5 rout; outer radius (GM/c$^2$)
par6 Erest; line energy (keV)
par7 alpha; accretion disk emissivity scales as $r^{-alpha}$ for $r<rb$
par8 beta; accretion disk emissivity scales as $r^{-beta}$ for $r>rb$
par9 rb; boundary radius between inner and outer emissivity laws (GM/c$^2$)
par10 zshift; overall Doppler shift
par11 limb; 0 means isotropic emission, 1 means Laor's limb darkening ($1+0.26\mu$), 2 means Haardt's limb brightening ($\ln{1+1/\mu}$
norm photon/cm$^2$/s in the spectrum
