Mewe-Gronenschild-Kaastra thermal plasma (1992).
XSpec model.
An emission spectrum from hot diffuse gas based on the model
calculations of Mewe and Gronenschild (as amended by Kaastra). The
model includes line emissions from several elements.
xsmeka Parameters
| 1 | kT | plasma temperature
in keV |
| 2 | nH | hydrogen density
in cm^-3 |
| 3 | Abund | metal
abundances (He fixed at cosmic). The elements included are C, N, O,
Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, Ni. Abundances are set by the
xspecabundan command. |
| 4 | Redshift | redshift,
z |
| 5 | norm | 10^-14 / (4 pi
(D_A*(1+z))^2) Int n_e n_H dV, where D_A is the angular size
distance to the source (cm), n_e is the electron density (cm^-3),
and n_H is the hydrogen density (cm^-3) |
