set_xscosmo

Synopsis

Set the cosmological parameters used by X-Spec models.

set_xscosmo(h0, q0, l0)

h0 - number
q0 - number
l0 - number

Description

Set the cosmological parameters (H_0, q_0, lambda_0) used by X-Spec. It is equivalent to the X-Spec cosmo command [1] . The default values are h0=70, q0=0, and l0=0.73

Example

>>> set_xscosmo(73, 0, 0.73)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

XSPEC version

CIAO 4.16 comes with support for version 12.13.1e of the XSPEC models. This can be checked with the following:

% python -c 'from sherpa.astro import xspec;
print(xspec.get_xsversion())'
12.13.1e
