XSnthComp

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSnthComp(name='nthcomp')

Bases: sherpa.astro.xspec.XSAdditiveModel

The XSPEC nthComp model: Thermally comptonized continuum.

The model is described at [1].

Gamma

The asymptotic power-law photon index.

kT_e

The electron temperature (high-energy rollover) in keV.

kT_bb

The seed photon temperature (low-energy rollover) in keV.

inp_type

The seed photon source: when 0 use a blackbody, when 1 use a disk-blackbody.

redshift

The redshift.

norm

The normalization of the model: see [1] for more details.

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.
