+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    eq : Equilibrium
+        Equilibrium that will be optimized to satisfy the Objective.
+    target : {float, ndarray}, optional
+        Target value(s) of the objective. Only used if bounds is None.
+        Must be broadcastable to Objective.dim_f. Defaults to ``target=0``.
+    bounds : tuple of {float, ndarray}, optional
+        Lower and upper bounds on the objective. Overrides target.
+        Both bounds must be broadcastable to to Objective.dim_f.
+        Defaults to ``target=0``.
+    weight : {float, ndarray}, optional
+        Weighting to apply to the Objective, relative to other Objectives.
+        Must be broadcastable to to Objective.dim_f
+    normalize : bool, optional
+        Whether to compute the error in physical units or non-dimensionalize.
+    normalize_target : bool, optional
+        Whether target and bounds should be normalized before comparing to computed
+        values. If `normalize` is `True` and the target is in physical units,
+        this should also be set to True.
+    loss_function : {None, 'mean', 'min', 'max'}, optional
+        Loss function to apply to the objective values once computed. This loss function
+        is called on the raw compute value, before any shifting, scaling, or
+        normalization. Note: Has no effect for this objective.
+    deriv_mode : {"auto", "fwd", "rev"}
+        Specify how to compute jacobian matrix, either forward mode or reverse mode AD.
+        "auto" selects forward or reverse mode based on the size of the input and output
+        of the objective. Has no effect on self.grad or self.hess which always use
+        reverse mode and forward over reverse mode respectively.
+    reaction : str, optional
+        Fusion reaction. One of {'T(d,n)4He', 'D(d,p)T', 'D(d,n)3He'}.
+        Default = 'T(d,n)4He'.
+    grid : Grid, optional
+        Collocation grid used to compute the intermediate quantities.
+        Defaults to ``QuadratureGrid(eq.L_grid, eq.M_grid, eq.N_grid, eq.NFP)``.
+    name : str, optional
+        Name of the objective function.
