XSvpshock

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSvpshock(name='vpshock')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC vpshock 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.

H

The H abundance: it should be set to 0 to switch on and 1 to switch off the free-free continuum.

He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, Ni

The abundance of the element in solar units.

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.
