bexrav: reflected e-folded broken power law, neutral
medium
A broken power-law spectrum multiplied by exponential high-energy cutoff, exp(-E/Ec), and reflected from neutral material. See Magdziarz & Zdziarski (1995) for details.
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 
, there is no cutoff in the power law. The metal
and iron abundance are variable with respect to those set by the
command abund. The opacities are those set by the command
xsect. As expected in AGNs, H and He are assumed to be fully
ionized.
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 BEXRAV_PRECISION eg xset BEXRAV_PRECISION 0.05. The default precision is 0.01 (ie 1%).
