XSmkcflow

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSmkcflow(name='mkcflow')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC mkcflow model: cooling flow, mekal.

The model is described at [1]. The results of this model depend on the cosmology settings set with set_xscosmo.

lowT

The minimum temperature, in keV.

highT

The maxmimum temperature, in keV.

Abundanc

The abundance relative to Solar, as set by set_xsabund.

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 mass accretion rate (solar mass per year).
