set_xscosmo

Synopsis

Set XSPEC cosmology settings (H0, q0, L0)

set_xscosmo(H0, q0, L0)
get_xscosmo()

Description

The set_xscosmo command specifies the cosmology settings (H0, q0, L0) used in XSpec models.

The get_xscosmo command returns the current setting.

• H0 - the Hubble constant in km/s/Mpc; default is 50
• q0 - the deceleration parameter; default is 0.5
• L0 - the cosmological constant; default is 0

If the cosmological constant is non-zero, then the value of q0 will be ignored and it is assumed that Omega_matter is >= 1-L0.

XSpec version

This information is taken from the XSpec User's Guide. Version 12.7.1 of the XSpec models is supplied with CIAO 4.4.1.

Example

sherpa> print get_xscosmo()
(50.0, 0.5, 0.0)
sherpa> set_xscosmo(100,0,0.7)

The current cosmology setting is retrieved ("(50.0, 0.5, 0.0)", the default). It is then changed to "100,0,0.7".
