Thick Target Bremsstralung

Introduction

This is the older version of the OSPEX thick target model component. Thick Target 2 is the recommended alternative to this because it yields the same results but is much faster.

Parameters

thick - Thick-Target Bremsstrahlung x-ray/gamma-ray spectrum from an isotropic electron distribution (see [1])

• a[0] - Total integrated electron flux, in units of 10^35 electrons sec^(-1)
• a[1] - power-law index of the electron distribution function below eebrk
• a[2] - break energy in the electron distribution function (in keV)
• a[3] - power-law index of the electron distribution function above eebrk
• a[4] - low energy cutoff in the electron distribution function (in keV)
• a[5] - high energy cutoff in the electron distribution function (in keV)
