Synopsis
The XSPEC zedge model: absorption edge.
Syntax
xszedge The xszedge model is a multiplicative model component.
Description
The model is described at [1] .
Example
>>> create_model_component("xszedge", "mdl") >>> print(mdl)
Create a component of the xszedge model and display its default parameters. The output is:
mdl Param Type Value Min Max Units ----- ---- ----- --- --- ----- mdl.edgeE thawed 7 0 100 keV mdl.MaxTau thawed 1 0 10 mdl.redshift frozen 0 -0.999 10
ATTRIBUTES
The attributes for this object are:
Attribute | Definition |
---|---|
edgeE | The threshold edge, in keV. |
MaxTau | The absorption depth at the threshold. |
redshift | The redshift of the edge. |
