Joint fitting XRT and GBM data with XSPEC models

Goals

3ML is designed to properly joint fit data from different instruments with thier instrument dependent likelihoods. We demostrate this with joint fitting data from GBM and XRT while simultaneously showing hwo to use the XSPEC models form astromodels

Setup

You must have you HEASARC initiated so that astromodels can find the XSPEC libraries.

Setup the model

astromodels allows you to use XSPEC models if you have XSPEC installed. Set all the normal parameters you would in XSPEC and build a model the normal 3ML/astromodels way! Here we will use the phabs model from XSPEC and mix it with powerlaw model in astromodels.

With XSPEC

[11]:
xspec_abund("angr")

spectral_model = XS_phabs() * XS_zphabs() * Powerlaw()


spectral_model.nh_1 = 0.101
spectral_model.nh_1.bounds = (None, None)
spectral_model.nh_1.fix = True

spectral_model.nh_2 = 0.1114424
spectral_model.nh_2.fix = True
spectral_model.nh_2.bounds = (None, None)
spectral_model.redshift_2 = 0.618
spectral_model.redshift_2.fix = True
 Solar Abundance Vector set to angr:  Anders E. & Grevesse N. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 53, 197 (1989)

With astromodels PHABS

We can build the exact same models in native astromodels thanks to Dominique Eckert. Here, there is no extra function for redshifting the absorption model, just pass a redshift.

[12]:
phabs_local = PhAbs(NH=0.101)
phabs_local.NH.fix = True
phabs_local.redshift.fix = True
phabs_src = PhAbs(NH=0.1114424, redshift=0.618)
phabs_src.NH.fix = True
phabs_src.redshift.fix = True
pl = Powerlaw()
spectral_model_native = phabs_local * phabs_src * pl

Setup the joint likelihood

Create a point source object and model.

Load the data into a data list and create the joint likelihood

With XSPEC models

First we will fit with the XSPEC model
