AHELP for CIAO 3.4 xsdiskbb Context: sherpa

Synopsis

Multiple blackbody disk model. XSpec model.

Description

The spectrum from an accretion disk consisting of multiple blackbody components. For example, see Mitsuda et al. PASJ, 36, 741, (1984) and Makishima et al., ApJ 308, 635, (1986).

xsdiskbb Parameters

Number Name Description
1 Tin temperature at inner disk radius (keV)
2 norm ((Rin/km)/(D/10kpc))^2 * cos(theta), where Rin is the inner disk radius, D the distance to the source, and theta the angle of the disk

This information is taken from the XSpec User's Guide. Version 11.3.1 of the XSpec models is supplied with CIAO 3.2.
