Synopsis

The XSPEC zlogpar model: log-parabolic blazar model.

Syntax

xszlogpar

The xszlogpar model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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