XSpwab

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSpwab(name='pwab')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSMultiplicativeModel

The XSPEC pwab model: power-law distribution of neutral absorbers.

The model is described at [1].

nHmin

The minimum equivalent hydrogen column (in units of 10^22 atoms/cm^2).

nHmax

The maximum equivalent hydrogen column (in units of 10^22 atoms/cm^2).

beta

The power law index for the covering fraction.

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.
