Spectro-T for multi-component plasma
The following algorithm accurately predicts T derived from a
single-temperature fit for a multi-component thermal plasma. It can be
applied in the deprojection analysis of objects with the temperature
and
metallicity gradients, for correction of the PSF effects, for
consistent
comparison of numerical simulations of galaxy clusters and groups with
the X-ray observations, and for estimating how emission from undetected
components can bias the global X-ray spectral analysis.
Please consult the Paper for details. The
fortran implementation of this algorithm can be downloaded here.
