xsspexpcut

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC spexpcut model: super-exponential cutoff absorption.

Syntax

xsspexpcut

The xsspexpcut model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .


Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.Ecut     thawed           10            0        1e+06        keV
   mdl.alpha    thawed            1           -5            5           

ATTRIBUTES

The attributes for this object are:

Attribute Definition
Ecut The e-folding energy for the absorption, in keV.
alpha The exponent index: see [1] for more details.
