Shell2D

class sherpa.astro.models.Shell2D(name='shell2d')[source] [edit on github]

Bases: sherpa.models.model.RegriddableModel2D

A homogenous spherical 3D shell projected onto 2D.

xpos

The center of the shell on the x0 axis.

ypos

The center of the shell on the x1 axis.

ampl

The amplitude.

r0

The line-of-sight distance.

width

The width of the shell.

Notes

The functional form of the model for points is:

f(x0,x1) = ampl * r(x0,x1)

         = 0     otherwise

r(x0,x1) = ?

For grids, the x0lo,x1lo values are used in the above equation.

It is not correct for very large shells on the sky.

This model was provided by Christoph Deil.

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs)
calc(p, x, y, *args, **kwargs) Homogeneously emitting spherical shell, projected along the z-direction (this is not 100% correct for very large shells on the sky).
get_center()
guess(dep, *args, **kwargs) Set an initial guess for the parameter values.
regrid(*arrays)
reset()

startup(cache) Called before a model may be evaluated multiple times.
teardown() Called after a model may be evaluated multiple times.

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs) [edit on github]
calc(p, x, y, *args, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

Homogeneously emitting spherical shell, projected along the z-direction (this is not 100% correct for very large shells on the sky).

get_center() [edit on github]
guess(dep, *args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

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) [edit on github]
reset() [edit on github]
set_center(*args, **kwargs) [edit on github]
startup(cache) [edit on github]

Called before a model may be evaluated multiple times.
