Function for computing response functions for different abundance models #3

Closed wtbarnes closed 9 months ago

wtbarnes commented 2 years ago

When computing the instrument temperature response functions, a particular abundance model is assumed. In general, when computing the DEM through inversion, we don't want to assume a particular abundance model as we are trying to determine which abundance model best matches the observations.

We should have a function that computes the temperature response of both AIA and XRT for different abundances. This involves folding the emissivity through the wavelength response functions of the instrument.

This is closed by the fact that the compute_temperature_response function just takes in a spectra (which can have any abundance applied to it).
