Exponentially cut off power law
spectrum reflected from ionized material (Magdziarz & Zdziarski MNRAS, 273,
837; 1995). Ionization and opacities of the reflecting medium is computed as in
the absori model. The output spectrum is the sum of the cutoff 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
defined 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 PEXRIV_PRECISION eg xset PEXRIV_PRECISION 0.05. The default precision is 0.01 (ie 1%).
