set_xsabund
(abundance)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set the elemental abundances used by X-Spec models.
Set the abundance table used in the X-Spec plasma emission and photoelectric absorption models. It is equivalent to the X-Spec
abund
command 1.- Parameters
abundance (str) – A file name, format described below, or one of the pre-defined names listed in the Notes section below.

Notes
The pre-defined abundance tables are:
The values for these tables are given at 1.
Data files should be in ASCII format, containing a single numeric (floating-point) column of the abundance values, relative to Hydrogen.
The screen output of this function is controlled by the X-Spec chatter setting (set_xschatter).
