            gauss, zgauss:  gaussian line profile

A simple gaussian line profile. If the width is then itis treated as a delta function. The zgauss variant computes a redshifted gaussian.

A(E) = K/(sigma*sqrt(2*pi)) * exp(-(E-E_l)^2/(2*sigma^2))

where:

par1 = El

line energy in keV

par2 = s

line width in keV

Norm = K

total photons cm-2 s-1 in the line

 

For zgauss the corresponding formula is:

 

A(E) = K/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma^2*(1+z)) * exp(.5*[(E(1+z)-E_l)/sigma]^2)

 

and parameter settings are:

par1=E_l

line energy in keV

par2=sigma

line width in keV

par3=z

redshift

norm=K

total photons cm–2s–1 in the line
