Class LFIonHistory

object --+ | cosmolopy.saveable.Saveable --+ | LFIonHistory

Calculate an ionization history based on luminosity function evolution.

LF parameters enter here, e.g. choice of LF, f_esc_gamma, M*-z slope, alpha

Calculate ionizing emissivity history (from LF, for example) Ndot(z). Integrate ionizing emissivity to find x_tot(z). Integrate recombinations to find x(z).
