powerlaw is a simple photon power law. The zpowerlw variant computes a redshifted spectrum.

For zpowerlw the formula and corresponding parameters are:

If POW_EMIN and POW_EMAX have been defined by the xset command then
the norm becomes the flux in units of ergs/cm
/s over the
energy range (POW_EMIN, POW_EMAX) keV unless POW_EMIN = POW_EMAX in
which case the norm becomes the flux density in micro-Jansky at
POW_EMIN keV. In these cases it is important that POW_EMIN and
POW_EMAX lie within the energy range on which the model is being
evaluated.
