xsmkcflow

Synopsis

Cooling flow model based on mekal. XSpec model.

Description

A cooling flow model after Mushotzky and Szymkowiak ("Cooling Flows in Clusters and Galaxies" ed. Fabian, 1988). This one uses the xsmekal model for the individual temperature components and differs from xscflow in setting the emissivity function to be the inverse of the cooling time. The switch parameter determines whether the xsmekal code will be run to calculate the model spectrum for each temperature, or whether the model spectrum will be interpolated from a pre-calculated table; the former is slower but more accurate.

The model assumes H_0=50 and q_0=0. The abundance ratios are set by the set_xsabund command.

This is an additive model component.
