AHELP for CIAO 3.4 nbeta Context: sherpa

Synopsis

1-D normalized beta function. Integration ON.

Description

A normalized 1-D beta function appropriate for use fitting line profiles:

f(x) = A / [1 + ((x-x_0)^2/w^2)]^(-alpha)

NGAUSS1D Parameters

Number Name Description
1 pos line centroid x_0
2 width line width w
3 index index alpha
4 ampl line amplitude A

See "ahelp integrate" for further information about source model integration.
