XSsedov

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSsedov(name='sedov')[source]

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC sedov model: sedov model, separate ion/electron temperature.

The model is described at [1]. The set_xsxset and get_xsxset functions are used to set and query the XSPEC XSET parameters, in particular the keyword “NEIVERS”.

kT_a

The mean shock temperature, in keV.

kT_b

The electron temperature immediately behind the shock front, in keV. See [1] for a discussion of the behavior of kT_a and kT_b.

Abundanc

The metal abundance of the plasma, as defined by the set_xsabund function.

Tau

The ionization timescale in units of s/cm^3.

redshift

The redshift of the plasma.

norm

The normalization of the model: see [1] for an explanation of the units.

Methods Documentation

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs)
calc(pars, xlo, *args, **kwargs)
get_center()
guess(dep, *args, **kwargs)

Set an initial guess for the parameter values.

Attempt to set the parameter values, and ranges, for the model to match the data values. This is intended as a rough guess, so it is expected that the model is only evaluated a small number of times, if at all.

regrid(*arrays)
reset()
set_center(*args, **kwargs)
startup()

Called before a model may be evaluated multiple times.
