Exponentially cut off power law spectrum reflected from neutral material (Magdziarz & Zdziarski MNRAS, 273, 837; 1995). The output spectrum is the sum of the cut-off power law and the reflection component. The reflection component alone can be obtained for rel_refl < 0. Then the actual reflection normalization is |rel_refl|. Note that you need to change then the limits of rel_refl excluding zero (as then the direct component appears). If tex2html_wrap_inline12749 , there is no cutoff in the power law. The metal and iron abundance are variable with respect to those of Anders and Ebihara (1982; used by Morrison and McCammon 1983). The opacities are of Balucinska & McCammon (ApJ 400, 699 and 1994, private communication). As expected in AGNs, H and He are assumed to be fully ionized.

par1	 = 	tex2html_wrap_inline12741 , power law photon index,  tex2html_wrap_inline12743  prop. to  tex2html_wrap_inline12745 

par2 = tex2html_wrap_inline12747 , the cutoff energy in keV (if tex2html_wrap_inline12749 there is no cutoff;

one needs to change the lower limit for that)

par3 = rel_refl, scaling factor for reflection; if <0, no direct component

(rel_refl=1 for isotropic source above disk)

par4 = redshift, z

par5 = abundance of elements heavier than He relative to the Solar

abundances

par6 = iron abundance relative to the solar iron abundance (7.52)

par7 = cosine of inclination angle

K = photon flux at 1 keV of the power-law only in the observed frame.
