Currently, the default set is Urdampilleta et al. (2017) The Table below lists the possible options.

Ionisation balance modes#
Abbrevation	Reference
reset	default (=u17)
ar85	Arnaud & Rothenflug (1985)
ar92	Arnaud & Raymond (1992) for Fe,
	Arnaud & Rothenflug (1985) for the other elements
bryans09	Bryans et al. (2009)
u17	Urdampilleta et al. (2017) (default)

Python interface: Ionisation balance.

Fortran interface: Ionisation balance

The following syntax rules apply:

ibal #a : Set the ionisation balance to set #a with #a in the table above.

ibal show : Show the currently active ionisation balance.

ibal reset : Take the standard ionisation balance

ibal ar85 : Take the Arnaud & Rothenflug ionisation balance
