Parameters of the magnetar model.

Parameter name Description Units Allowable range
model 1 (blackbody), 2 (magnetized atmosphere), 3 (fixed-ions condensed surface), 4 (free-ions condensed surface) 1–4
norm overall normalization 0 … inf
chi inclination from rotation axis [°] 0.1 … 89.9
xi angle between rotation and magnetic axes [°] 0.1 … 89.9
deltaPhi magnetic field line twist angle [rad] 0.3 … 1.4
beta electron bulk velocity [c] 0.2 … 0.7
phi anticlockwise rotation to celestial north pole [°] 0 … 180
phaseResolved 1 (0) for phase-resolved (phase-averaged) analysis 0, 1
offset offset added to the model phase (phase-resolved analysis only) 0. … 1.
dir +1 (−1) for pulse evolution as modeled (inverted) (phase-resolved analysis only) −1, 1
phase1 start of interval for averaging (phase-averaged analysis only) 0 … 1
phase2 end of phase interval for averaging, a value smaller than phase1 will result in averaging the model from phase2 to phase1 (phase-averaged analysis only) 0 … 1
