lumin

Calculate the luminosity of the current model for a given redshift and rest frame energy range.
XSPEC> lumin [<lowEnergy> [<hiEnergy>] [<redshift>]
where <low Energy> and <hi Energy> are the rest frame energies over which the luminosity is calculated and <redshift> is the source redshift. Initial default values are 2 to 10 keV for 0 redshift. The luminosity is given in units of ergs/s. The energy range redshifted to the observed range must be contained by the range covered by the current data sets (which determine the range over which the model is evaluated). Values outside this range will be automatically reset to the extremes. Note: The energy values are two separate arguments, and are NOT connected by a dash (see parameter ranges in the freeze command description).
