Synopsis

The XSPEC diskpbb model: accretion disk, power-law dependence for T(r).

Syntax

xsdiskpbb

The xsdiskpbb model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.Tin      thawed            1          0.1           10        keV
   mdl.p        thawed         0.75          0.5            1           
   mdl.norm     thawed            1            0        1e+24

ATTRIBUTES

The attributes for this object are:

Attribute	Definition
Tin	The temperature at the inner disk radius, in keV.
p	The exponent of the radial dependence of the disk temperature.
norm	The normalization of the model: see [1] for details.
