This cph (Cooling+Heating) model is a modification of mkcflow to include heating as described in Zhoolideh Haghighi, Afshordi & Khoshroshahi (2018). The peak temperature parameter is the peak of the emission measure distribution and occurs where the cooling and heating timescales are equal.
The mkcflow model had parameters for low and high temperature but these are not necessary for the cph model since the emission measure does not diverge at low temperatures. The model integrates the emission measure distribution from 0.01 to 50 keV.
For cph the parameters are:
par1 | peakT: peak temperature (keV) |
par2 | Abund: abundance relative to Solar |
par3 | Redshift |
par4 | switch (0 = calculate, 1 = interpolate, 2 = use AtomDB data) |
norm | Mass accretion rate (solar mass/yr) |
For the version with variable abundances (vcph) the parameters are:
par1 | peakT: peak temperature (keV) |
par2 | He: He abundance relative to Solar |
par3 | C: C abundance relative to Solar |
par4 | N: N abundance relative to Solar |
par5 | O: O abundance relative to Solar |
par6 | Ne: Ne abundance relative to Solar |
par7 | Na: Na abundance relative to Solar |
par8 | Mg: Mg abundance relative to Solar |
par9 | Al: Al abundance relative to Solar |
par10 | Si: Si abundance relative to Solar |
par11 | S: S abundance relative to Solar |
par12 | Ar: Ar abundance relative to Solar |
par13 | Ca: Ca abundance relative to Solar |
par14 | Fe: Fe abundance relative to Solar |
par15 | Ni: Ni abundance relative to Solar |
par16 | Redshift |
par17 | switch (0 = calculate, 1 = interpolate, 2 = use AtomDB data) |
norm | Mass accretion rate (solar mass/yr) |
