BBodyFreq

class sherpa.astro.models.BBodyFreq(name='bbodyfreq')

Bases: sherpa.models.model.RegriddableModel1D

A one-dimensional Blackbody model (frequency).

This model can be used when the independent axis is in frequency space.

T

The temperature if the blackbody, in Kelvin.

ampl

The amplitude of the blackbody component.

Notes

The blackbody emission is calculated as a function of frequency (v) using Wien’s law (hv >> kT):

f(v) = ampl * 2 * h * v^3 * exp(-h * v / (k * T)) / c^2

where T is the blackbody temperature in Kelvin, h is Planck’s constant, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and c the speed of light.

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, **kwargs)

The class RegriddableModel1D allows the user to evaluate in the requested space then interpolate onto the data space. An optional argument ‘interp’ enables the user to change the interpolation method.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sherpa.models.basic import Box1D
>>> mybox = Box1D()
>>> request_space = np.arange(1, 10, 0.1)
>>> regrid_model = mybox.regrid(request_space, interp=linear_interp)

reset()

set_center(*args, **kwargs)

startup(cache)

Called before a model may be evaluated multiple times.
