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 , 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. Send

par1 =, power law photon index,
prop. to
![]()
par2 =
, the cutoff energy in keV (if
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.
