xsrdblur

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC rdblur convolution model: convolve with the diskline model shape

Syntax

xsrdblur

The xsrdblur model is a convolution model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.Betor10  frozen           -2          -10           20           
   mdl.Rin_M    frozen           10            6        10000           
   mdl.Rout_M   frozen         1000            0        1e+07           
   mdl.Incl     thawed           30            0           90        deg

ATTRIBUTES

The attributes for this object are:

Attribute	Definition
Betor10	The power law dependence of emissivity: see [1] for more details.
Rin_M	The inner radius, in units of GM^2/c.
Rout_M	The outer radius, in units of GM^2/c.
Incl	The inclination, in degrees.

Notes

Unlike XSPEC, the convolution model is applied directly to the model, or models, rather than using the multiplication symbol.
