Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC disko model: accretion disk, inner, radiation pressure viscosity.

Syntax

xsdisko

The xsdisko model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .

Example

>>> create_model_component("xsdisko", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)

Create a component of the xsdisko model and display its default parameters. The output is:

mdl
