Synopsis

Multiple blackbody disk model with zero-torque inner boundary. XSpec model.

A multi-temperature blackbody model for a thin, steady-state, Newtonian accretion disk, assuming zero torque at the inner boundary for the disk at radius R_in. The temperature of the disk as a function of radius is assumed to be

T(r) = T_* r^(-3/4) (1-r^(-1/2))^(1/4) ,

where r = R/R_in and

T_* = f(3 G M Mdot / 8 pi R_in^3 sigma)^(1/4) .

The maximum temperature in the disk is given by

T_max = 0.488 T_* .

This model is an alternative to xsdiskbb, which assumes a non-zero torque at the inner edge and a temperature profile

T(r) = T_* r^(-3/4) ,

and it should be used to fit spectra of disks when the zero-torque inner boundary condition is appropriate. For details see Zimmerman et al. (2004) astro-ph/0408209.

This is an additive model component.

xsezdiskbb Parameters

Number	Name	Description
1	t_max	maximum temperature in the disk (keV)
2	norm	(1/f^4) (R_in/D)^2 cos i, where R_in is the inner radius of the disk in km, D is the distance to the source in units of 10 kpc, i is the inclination, and f is the color to effective temperature ratio.
