Synopsis
The XSPEC zvfeabs model: photoelectric absorption with free Fe edge energy.
Syntax
xszvfeabs The xszvfeabs model is a multiplicative model component.
Description
The model is described at [1] .
Example
>>> create_model_component("xszvfeabs", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)Create a component of the xszvfeabs model and display its default parameters. The output is:
