XSpshock

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSpshock(name='pshock')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC pshock model: plane-parallel shocked plasma, constant temperature.

The model is described at [1]. The set_xsxset and get_xsxset functions are used to set and query the XSPEC XSET parameters, in particular the keyword “NEIVERS”.

kT

The temperature of the plasma, in keV.

Abundanc

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

Tau_l

The lower limit on the ionization timescale, in s/cm^3.

Tau_u

The upper limit on the ionization timescale, in s/cm^3.

redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

norm

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