Synopsis
The XSPEC spexpcut model: super-exponential cutoff absorption.
Syntax
xsspexpcut The xsspexpcut model is a multiplicative model component.
Description
The model is described at [1] .
Example
>>> create_model_component("xsspexpcut", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)Create a component of the xsspexpcut model and display its default parameters. The output is:
