Synopsis

The XSPEC zxipab model: power-law distribution of ionized absorbers.

Syntax

xszxipab

The xszxipab model is a multiplicative model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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