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.

kyconv: convolution using a relativistic line from axisymmetric accretion disk

Convolution using as a kernel the relativistic line 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 alpha; accretion disk emissivity scales as $r^{-alpha}$ for $r<rb$
par7 beta; accretion disk emissivity scales as $r^{-beta}$ for $r>rb$
par8 rb; boundary radius between inner and outer emissivity laws (GM/c$^2$)
par9 zshift; overall Doppler shift
par10 limb; 0 means isotropic emission, 1 means Laor's limb darkening ($1+0.26\mu$), 2 means Haardt's limb brightening ($\ln{1+1/\mu}$
par11 ne_loc; number of grid points in local energy (energy resolution of local flux, the grid is equidistant in logarithmic scale)
par12 normal; 0 means normalize total flux to unity, +ve value means normalize to unity at the energy given by the parametervalue, -ve value means unnormalized.
