Synopsis

The XSPEC zredden model: redshifted version of redden.

Syntax

xszredden

The xszredden model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

The ebv parameter has been renamed e_bmv to match the XSPEC definition. The name ebv can still be used to access the parameter, but this name will be removed in a future release.


Example

>>> create_model_component("xszredden", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)

Create a component of the xszredden model and display its default parameters. The output is:

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.E_BmV    thawed         0.05            0           10           
   mdl.redshift frozen            0       -0.999           10
