Synopsis

The XSPEC olivineabs model: Absorption due to olivine.

Syntax

xsolivineabs

The xsolivineabs model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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