bexriv: reflected e-folded broken power law, ionized medium

Broken power-law spectrum multiplied by exponential high-energy cutoff, exp(-E/Ec), and reflected from ionized material. See Magdziarz & Zdziarski 1995, MNRAS, 273, 837 for details. Ionization and opacities of the reflecting medium is computed as in the absori model. 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 . Then the actual reflection normalization is . Note that you need to change then the limits of  excluding zero (as then the direct component appears). If Ec = 0, there is no cutoff in the power law. The metal and iron abundances are variable with respect to those set by the command abund.

 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 eg xset BEXRIV_PRECISION 0.05. The default precision is 0.01 (ie 1%).
