relxill (XSPEC relativistic disk reflection model)

Full installation guide on the relxill website.

For running XSPEC, see this guide in the astro-group-bristol/guidelines.

Docker

Note that this builds on the Docker XSPEC image.

Building locally

To build locally, clone this repository and change to the relxill directory.

git clone https://github.com/astro-group-bristol/astro-software-installers
cd astro-software-installers/relxill

Next, download the source code for HEASoft:

wget http://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/~dauser/research/relxill/relxill_model_v1.4.3.tgz
wget http://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/~dauser/research/relxill/relxill_tables.tgz

The Dockerfile will copy the source from the host machine to avoid having to re-download it incase anything goes wrong.

Finally, build the image in the usual way, with the option of specifying architecture as a build argument:

  • ARM and Apple Silicon
docker build . -t relxill:1.4.3-aarch64 --build-arg ARCH=aarch64

Running

An example of how to run XSPEC with relxill on a Mac with X11, mounting /path/to/my/data as /data/

/opt/X11/bin/xhost + 127.0.0.1
docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 -v /path/to/my/data:/data relxill tcsh
