FITS Tables for Cone Reflection in XSPEC Model Stokes_Cone

FITS tables for cone reflection used with the XSPEC model stokes_cone v2.0. The 2.1 GB dataset was created by Jakub Podgorný using torus_integrator and an XSPEC table model generator, with details published in Podgorny et al., 2024 and Podgorny 2025. It was last updated on May 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling X-ray spectra from accretion flows based on the cone reflection tables.
• Simulating polarization in X-ray emission based on the described physical model.
• Calibrating or validating the stokes_cone XSPEC model using the provided FITS tables.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 2.1 GB, indicating substantial computational model output.
• Directly linked to two published arXiv preprints (2024, 2025) providing methodological context.
• Last updated on May 14, 2026, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
