redback.transient_models.magnetar_models.general_magnetar(time, a_1, alpha_1, delta_time_one, alpha_2, delta_time_two, **kwargs)

Reparameterized millisecond magnetar model (piecewise)

Parameters:

• time – time array for power law

• a_1 – power law decay amplitude

• alpha_1 – power law decay exponent

• delta_time_one – time between start and end of prompt emission

• alpha_2 – Reparameterized braking index n

• delta_time_two – time between end of prompt emission and end of magnetar model plateau phase, (tau)

• kwargs – key word arguments for handling plotting/other functionality

Returns:

luminosity or flux (depending on scaling of l0) as a function of time.
