vbremss

A thermal bremsstrahlung spectrum with variable He/H. Based on the Kellogg, Baldwin & Koch polynomial (ApJ 199, 299) fits to the Karzas & Latter (ApJSuppl 6, 167) numerical values. A routine from Kurucz (priv.comm.) is used for low temperatures.

par1	 = 	plasma temperature (keV)

par2 = n(He)/n(H) in units of Solar ratio

K = tex2html_wrap_inline12823, where D is the distance to the

source (cm) and tex2html_wrap_inline12825, tex2html_wrap_inline12827 are the electron and ion densities (cmtex2html_wrap_inline12829 )
