Synopsis
E-folded broken power law reflected from ionized matter. XSpec model.
Description
Broken power law spectrum multiplied by exponential high-energy cutoff, Exp[-E/foldE], and reflected from ionized material. See Magdziarz and Zdziarski 1995, MNRAS, 273, 837 for details. Ionization and opacities of the reflecting medium is computed as in the procedure absori. The output spectrum is the sum of an e-folded broken power law and the reflection component.
The reflection component alone can be obtained for relRefl < 0. Then the actual reflection normalization is |relRefl|. Note that you need to change then the limits of relRefl excluding zero (as then the direct component appears). If foldE = 0, there is no cutoff in the power law.
The metal and iron abundances are variable with respect to those set by the command set_xsabund.
The core of this model is a Greens' function integration with one numerical integral performed for each model energy. The numerical integration is done using an adaptive method which continues until a given estimated fractional precision is reached. The precision can be changed by setting BEXRIV_PRECISION, e.g., 'xset BEXRIV_PRECISION 0.05' (see 'ahelp set_xsxset'). The default precision is 0.01 (i.e., 1%).
This is an additive model component.
