XSgnei

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSgnei(name='gnei')[source]

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC gnei model: collisional plasma, non-equilibrium, temperature evolution.

The model is described at [1]. The set_xsxset and get_xsxset functions are used to set and query the XSPEC XSET parameters, in particular the keyword “NEIVERS”.

Note

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

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

kT

The temperature of the plasma, in keV.

Abundanc

The metal abundance of the plasma, as defined by the set_xsabund function.

Tau

The ionization timescale in units of s/cm^3.

meankT

The ionization timescale averaged plasma temperature in keV.

redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

norm

The normalization of the model: see [1] for an explanation of the units.
