xsdiskline

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC diskline model: accretion disk line emission, relativistic.

Syntax

xsdiskline

The xsdiskline model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

The rinm and routm parameters have been renamed rin_m and rout_m respectively to match the XSPEC definition. The names rinm and routm can still be used to access the parameters, but they will be removed in a future release.

Example

>>> create_model_component("xsdiskline", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)

Create a component of the xsdiskline model and display its default parameters. The output is:

XSPEC version

CIAO 4.16 comes with support for version 12.13.1e of the XSPEC models. This can be checked with the following:

% python -c 'from sherpa.astro import xspec;
print(xspec.get_xsversion())'
12.13.1e
