XStapec

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XStapec(name='tapec')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC tapec model: APEC emission spectrum with separate continuum and line temperatures.

The model is described at [1]. The set_xsabund and get_xsabund functions change and return the current settings for the relative abundances of the metals. The set_xsxset and get_xsxset functions are used to set and query the XSPEC XSET parameters, in particular the keywords “APECROOT”, “APECTHERMAL”, “APECVELOCITY”, “APECNOLINES”, and “APEC_TRACE_ABUND”.

kT

Continuum temperature, in keV.

kTi

Line temperature, in keV.

Abundanc

The metal abundance of the plasma, as defined by the set_xsabund function and the “APEC_TRACE_ABUND” xset keyword (which defaults to 1.0).

Redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

norm

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