sunkit_spex.photon_power_law.compute_power_law(energy_edges: Unit('keV'), norm_energy: Unit('keV'), norm_flux: Unit('ph / (keV s cm2)'), index: Unit(dimensionless))

Single power law, defined by setting the break energy to -inf and the lower index to nan.

Parameters:

• energy_edges (astropy.units.Quantity) – 1D array of energy edges defining the energy bins.

• norm_energy (astropy.units.Quantity) – Energy at which the normalization is applied, i.e. \(E_0\).

• norm_flux (astropy.units.Quantity) – Normalization flux for the photon power law. See

• index (astropy.units.Quantity) – Power law index.

Returns:

Photon power law, where the flux in each energy bin is equal to the power law analytically averaged over each bin.

Return type:

astropy.units.Quantity
