Notes. Errors are given at the 90% confidence level.
Normalization parameters of blackbody and bmc components are in units of 
erg s−1 kpc−2, where 
is soft photon luminosity in units of 1034 erg s−1, d10 is the distance to the source in units of 10 kpc, while power–law and Gaussian components are in units of keV−1 cm−2 s−1 at 1 keV and 10−5 × total photons cm−2 s−1 at 1 keV, respectively. TBB and Ts are the temperatures of the blackbody and seed photon components, respectively (in keV and eV). Γpow and Γbmc are the indices of the power law and bmc, respectively.
