Smooth broken power law spectral model#
This model parametrises a smooth broken power law spectrum.
It is defined by the following equation:
Example plot#
Here is an example plot of the model:
from astropy import units as u
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from gammapy.modeling.models import Models, SkyModel, SmoothBrokenPowerLawSpectralModel
energy_bounds = [0.1, 100] * u.TeV
model = SmoothBrokenPowerLawSpectralModel(
index1=1.5,
index2=2.5,
amplitude="1e-12 TeV-1 cm-2 s-1",
ebreak="1 TeV",
reference="1 TeV",
beta=1,
)
model.plot(energy_bounds)
plt.grid(which="both")
