Synopsis

The XSPEC zhighect model: high-energy cutoff.

Syntax

xszhighect

The xszhighect model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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

mdl
