XSmekal

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSmekal(name='mekal')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC mekal model: emission, hot diffuse gas (Mewe-Kaastra-Liedahl).

The model is described at [1].

kT

The temperature of the plasma, in keV.

nH

H density, in cm^-3.

Abundanc

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

redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

switch

If 0, the mekal code is run to evaluate the model; if 1 then interpolation of the mekal data is used; if 2 then interpolation of APEC data is used. See [1] for more details. This parameter can not be thawed.

norm

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