Synopsis
The XSPEC absori model: ionized absorber.
Syntax
xsabsori The xsabsori model is a multiplicative model component.
Description
The model is described at [1] .
Example
>>> create_model_component("xsabsori", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)Create a component of the xsabsori model and display its default parameters. The output is:
