XSvvsedov

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSvvsedov(name='vvsedov')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC vvsedov model: sedov model, separate ion/electron temperature.

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”.

kT_a

The mean shock temperature, in keV.

kT_b

The electron temperature immediately behind the shock front, in keV. See [1] for a discussion of the behavior of kT_a and kT_b.

H

The H abundance: it should be set to 0 to switch on and 1 to switch off the free-free continuum.

He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar,

K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn

The abundance of the element, with respect to Solar.

Tau

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

redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

norm

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