xszxipab

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC zxipab model: power-law distribution of ionized absorbers.

Syntax

xszxipab

The xszxipab model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .


Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.nHmin    thawed         0.01        1e-07        1e+06      10^22
   mdl.nHmax    thawed           10        1e-07        1e+06      10^22
