Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC rgsxsrc convolution model: convolve an RGS spectrum for extended emission.

Syntax

xsrgsxsrc

The xsrgsxsrc model is a convolution model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.order    frozen           -1           -3           -1

ATTRIBUTES

The attribute for this object is:

Attribute	Definition
order	The order, which must be -1 to -3 inclusive.

Notes

Unlike XSPEC, the convolution model is applied directly to the model, or models, rather than using the multiplication symbol.

The set_xsxset function must be used to set the RGS_XSOURCE_FILE value to point to a file as described in [1] . There is currently no support for reading in data from the XFLT keywords.
