XSlyman

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSlyman(name='lyman')

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 nHeI and redshift parameters have been renamed to n and z respectively to match the XSPEC definition. The names nHeI and redshift can still be used to access the parameters, but they will be removed in a future release.

n

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

b

The b value, in km/s.

z

The redshift of the absorber.

ZA

The atomic number of the species being calculated.

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.
