Adding Models to XSPEC

XSPEC includes a large collection of standard models that can be fit to data. However, sometimes these are not enough and a new model might be required. In order of increasing complexity the ways to do this are:

  • use the mdefine command;
  • create a table model;
  • load a model function created by someone else;
  • create and load your own model function.
