XSPEC: An X-ray spectral fitting package
Keith Arnaud,
Rick Shafer, Frank Haberl, and Allyn Tennant
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Abstract:
It has been over a decade since the first paper was published containing results
determined using the general X-ray spectral-fitting program XSPEC.
Since then XSPEC has become the most widely used program for
this purpose, being the de facto standard for the ROSAT and the
de jure standard for the ASCA and XTE satellites. Probably the
most important features of XSPEC are the large number of theoretical
models available and the facilities for adding new models.
