xsgrbm

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC grbm model: gamma-ray burst continuum.

Syntax

xsgrbm

The xsgrbm model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

The temp parameter has been renamed tem to match the XSPEC definition. The name temp can still be used to access the parameter, but this name will be removed in a future release.


Example

>>> create_model_component("xsgrbm", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)

Create a component of the xsgrbm model and display its default parameters. The output is:

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.alpha    thawed           -1          -10            5           
   mdl.beta     thawed           -2          -10           10           
   mdl.tem      thawed          300           10        10000        keV
   mdl.norm     thawed            1            0        1e+24
