Synopsis
The XSPEC zxipcf model: partial covering absorption by partially ionized material.
Syntax
xszxipcf The xszxipcf model is a multiplicative model component.
Description
The model is described at [1] .
Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0
The logxi parameter has been renamed log_xi to match the XSPEC definition. The name logxi can still be used to access the parameter, but this name will be removed in a future release.
Example
>>> create_model_component("xszxipcf", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)Create a component of the xszxipcf model and display its default parameters. The output is:
mdl Param Type Value Min Max Units ----- ---- ----- --- --- ----- mdl.Nh thawed 10 0.05 500 10^22 atoms / cm^2 mdl.log_xi thawed 3 -3 6 mdl.CvrFract thawed 0.5 0 1 mdl.redshift frozen 0 -0.999 10
ATTRIBUTES
The attributes for this object are:
