output electron distribution function in image header

[gnwong]

the eDF (and associated variables) should be saved in image output files. as far as I can tell, they're not currently included. should be an easy fix, once we decide where to put the output functionality.

thanks to Koushik for noticing this problem

I don't think so. That's set https://github.com/AFD-Illinois/ipole/blob/master/model/iharm/model.c#L892. I'm talking about this parameter https://github.com/AFD-Illinois/ipole/blob/master/src/par.c#L137 along with associated things like

ipole/src/symphony/params.h

Line 49 in c0f7de6

/*power law parameters*/

. Am I missing something?

Oh, the emission type. That's a bit more than just the eDF, since you can use it for a bunch of things related to emissivities and not every value is documented. I'd initially avoided recording it (and the similarly untested powerlaw params) for that reason.

I don't really have time to put in and test the new values, but they should be simple enough to add to that folder in some consistent way when writing the file header, happy to accept that PR quickly.
