voigtabs, zvoigtabs: voigt absorption line

A voigt absorption line as a multiplicative model. The zvoigtabs variant includes redshift as a parameter.

$\displaystyle M(E) = exp(-d*v(E)) $

where $v(E)$ is the voigt line shape (see voigt for details), and the parameters are:

par1 $E_l$, line energy in keV.
par2 $\sigma$, gaussian line width (sigma) in keV.
par3 $\gamma$, lorentz line width (FWHM) in keV.
par4 $d$, line depth in keV.

For zvoigtabs the parameters are:

par1 $E_l$, line energy in keV.
par2 $\sigma$, gaussian line width (sigma) in keV.
par3 $\gamma$, lorentz line width (FWHM) in keV.
par4 $d$, line depth in keV.
par5 $z$, redshift
