mkcflow

A cooling flow model after Mushotzky & Szymkowiak (``Cooling Flows in Clusters and Galaxies" ed. Fabian, 1988). This one uses the mekal model for the individual temperature components and differs from cflow in setting the emissivity function to be the inverse of the cooling time. The model assumes tex2html_wrap_inline12553 and tex2html_wrap_inline12555 . 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	 = 	low temperature (keV)

par2 = high temperature (keV)

par3 = abundance relative to Solar

par4 = redshift

par5 = 0 tex2html_wrap_inline12669 calculate, 1 tex2html_wrap_inline12669 interpolate

K = Mass accretion rate (solar mass/yr)
