Multi-temperature disk blackbody with power-law dependence of temperature on radius
This model is now in the Xspec release and this page is superceded by the Xspec manual
Update on 10/26/06 : the normalization was wrong in that it was 0.75/p times smaller than required. The correct normalization is obtained by multiplying 0.75/p to the normalization of the old version of the code. Since the disk radius is proportional to the square root of the normalization, and p can be as low as 0.5, the correct inner radius may be up to 1.11 time greater than the radius obtained from the old version of the code.
| par1 | = | temperature at inner disk radius (keV) |
| par2 | = | exponent of the radial dependence of the disk temprature |
| K | = | ((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 |
