cemekl

A multi-temperature plasma emission model built from the mekal code. Emission measures follow a power-law in temperature (ie emission measure from temperature T is proportional to tex2html_wrap_inline12545 . The abundance ratios are set by the abund command. The switch parameter determines whether the mekal code will be run to calculate the model spectrum for each temperature or whether the model spectrum will be interpolated from a pre-calculated table. The former is slower but more accurate.

par1	 = 	 index for power-law emissivity function

par2 = maximum temperature

par3 = nH (cm tex2html_wrap_inline12829 )

par4 = Abundance relative Solar

par5 = Redshift

par6 = 0 tex2html_wrap_inline12669 calculate, 1 tex2html_wrap_inline12669 interpolate

K = Normalization
