BrokenPowerLaw1D¶

class astropy.modeling.powerlaws.BrokenPowerLaw1D[source] [edit on github]¶

Bases: astropy.modeling.Fittable1DModel

One dimensional power law model with a break.

Parameters:

amplitude : float

Model amplitude at the break point

x_break : float

Break point

alpha_1 : float

Power law index for x < x_break

alpha_2 : float

Power law index for x > x_break

Notes

Model formula (with \(A\) for amplitude and \(\alpha_1\) for alpha_1 and \(\alpha_2\) for alpha_2):

\[\begin{split}f(x) = \left \{ \begin{array}{ll} A (x / x_{break}) ^ {-\alpha_1} & : x < x_{break} \\ A (x / x_{break}) ^ {-\alpha_2} & : x > x_{break} \\ \end{array} \right.\end{split}\]
