XSzbabs

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSzbabs(name='zbabs')[source]

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSMultiplicativeModel

The XSPEC lyman model: Voigt absorption profiles for H I or He II Lyman series.

The model is described at [1].

Note

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

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

nH

The H column density, in 10^22 atoms/cm^2.

nHeI

The He I column density, in 10^22 atoms/cm^2.

nHeI

The He II column density, in 10^22 atoms/cm^2.

z

The redshift of the absorber.

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs)
calc(pars, xlo, *args, **kwargs)
get_center()
guess(dep, *args, **kwargs)

Set an initial guess for the parameter values.

Attempt to set the parameter values, and ranges, for the model to match the data values. This is intended as a rough guess, so it is expected that the model is only evaluated a small number of times, if at all.
