FITS Tables for Torus Reflection for the Stokes_torus XSPEC Model

FITS tables for fully neutral torus reflection suitable for the XSPEC model stokes_torus v1.2. The 71.2 MB 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.

Use Cases

• Modeling X-ray reflection spectra from accretion disks based on the torus reflection tables.
• Calibrating or validating the stokes_torus v1.2 XSPEC model using the provided FITS data.
• Conducting spectral analysis of astronomical observations involving neutral torus geometries.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 71.2 MB, indicating a substantial but manageable file.
• Associated with peer-reviewed research (Podgorny et al., 2024; Podgorny 2025).
• Released under the permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

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