Plummer1D

class astropy.modeling.physical_models.Plummer1D(mass=1.0, r_plum=1.0, **kwargs)

Bases: astropy.modeling.Fittable1DModel

One dimensional Plummer density profile model.

Parameters

massfloat

Total mass of cluster.

r_plumfloat

Scale parameter which sets the size of the cluster core.

Notes

Model formula:

\[\rho(r)=\frac{3M}{4\pi a^3}(1+\frac{r^2}{a^2})^{-5/2}\]
