xslogpar

Context: models

Synopsis

The XSPEC logpar model: log-parabolic blazar model.

Syntax

xslogpar

The xslogpar model is an additive model component.

Description

The model is described at [1] .


Example

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

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

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.alpha    thawed          1.5            0            4           
   mdl.beta     thawed          0.2           -4            4           
   mdl.pivotE   frozen            1 -3.40282e+38  3.40282e+38        keV
   mdl.norm     thawed            1            0        1e+24           

ATTRIBUTES

The attributes for this object are:
