Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC zashift convolution model: redshift an additive model.

Syntax

xszashift

The xszashift model is a convolution model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .


Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.Redshift frozen            0       -0.999           10
