XSsirf

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSsirf(name='sirf')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC sirf model: self-irradiated funnel.

The model is described at [1].

tin

The inner temperature (at the inner, inside-the-funnel photosphere), in keV.

rin

The inner (inner, inside-the-fulle photosphere) radius in “spherisation radius” units (see [1] for details).

rout

The outer photosphere radius in “spherisation radius” units

theta

The half-opening angle of the cone, in degrees.

incl

The inclination angle of the funnel, in degrees. Affects mainly self-occultation and relativistic boost effects.

valpha

The velocity law exponent.

gamma

The adiabatic index. It affects the inner, hotter parts of the flow, therefore we set is to 4/3 by default.

mdot

The mass ejection rate in Eddington (critical) units.

irrad

The number of iterations for irradiation.

norm

The normalization of the model.
