compst

A Comptonization spectrum after Sunyaev and Titarchuk 1980, A&A, 86, 121. This model is the Comptonization of cool photons on hot electrons.

par1	 = 	temperature in keV

par2 = optical depth

K = tex2html_wrap_inline12557 , where N is the total number of photons

from the source, d is the distance to the source, and f

is the factor tex2html_wrap_inline12559 , where z is the

spectral index, y is the injected photon energy in units

of the temperature, and tex2html_wrap_inline12561 is the incomplete gamma function.
