Notes. The absorption column density was fixed to NH = 4.6 × 1022 cm−2 for the 2BB+PL and NTZ+PL models, and to NH = 4.9 × 1022 cm−2 for the BB+2PL model. In the NTZ model, β denotes the bulk motion velocity of the charged particles in the magnetosphere and Δψ the twist angle. BB radii and luminosities are evaluated for an observer at infinity and for a source distance of 4.5 kpc. FX, abs and LX are evaluated within the 0.3–70 keV energy range; LBB1, LBB2, LBB, LPL, S and in the 0.3–10 keV interval; LPL, H within the 10–70 keV band. In the BB+2PL model, the soft PL component tends to give an unphysical overestimate for the luminosity below ≈1 keV. In order to obtain a more reliable estimate for LPL, S, the soft PL component is actually a broken PL where we fix the photon index of the low-energy PL component to −3, and allow the break energy to vary. The best-fitting value for the break energy is around 1 keV, so that the contribution to LPL, S is negligible below 1 keV.
