xscabs

Synopsis

Compton scattering (non-relativistic). XSpec model.

Description

Non-relativistic, optically-thin Compton scattering.

M(E) = exp(-nH*sigma_T(E)]

where sigma_T(E) is the Thomson cross-section with Klein-Nishina corrections at high energies. Note that this model does not do frequency downshifting so is only valid for scattering out of the beam.

This is a multiplicative model component.
