Synopsis

Equilibrium ionization collisional plasma model from Borkowski. XSpec model.

Description

Ionization equilibrium collisional plasma model. This is the equilibrium version of Kazik Borkowski's NEI models.

This is an additive model component.

xsequil Parameters

Number	Name	Description
1	kt	plasma temperature in keV
2	abundanc	metal abundances (He fixed at cosmic). The elements included are C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ca, Fe, Ni. Abundances are set by the set_xsabund command.
3	redshift	redshift, z
4	norm	10^-14 / (4 pi (D_A*(1+z))^2) Int n_e n_H dV, where D_A is the angular size distance to the source (cm), n_e is the electron density (cm^-3), and n_H is the hydrogen density (cm^-3)
