# ExponentialCutoffPowerLaw1D¶

class astropy.modeling.powerlaws.ExponentialCutoffPowerLaw1D(amplitude=1, x_0=1, alpha=1, x_cutoff=1, **kwargs)[source]

One dimensional power law model with an exponential cutoff.

Parameters
amplitudefloat

Model amplitude

x_0float

Reference point

alphafloat

Power law index

x_cutofffloat

Cutoff point

Notes

Model formula (with $$A$$ for amplitude and $$\alpha$$ for alpha):

$f(x) = A (x / x_0) ^ {-\alpha} \exp (-x / x_{cutoff})$

Attributes Summary

 alpha amplitude input_units This property is used to indicate what units or sets of units the evaluate method expects, and returns a dictionary mapping inputs to units (or None if any units are accepted). param_names Names of the parameters that describe models of this type. x_0 x_cutoff

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the Parameter attributes defined in the class body.

x_0 = Parameter('x_0', value=1.0)
x_cutoff = Parameter('x_cutoff', value=1.0)
