Returns a SpaceData with energy and fluence spectra of solar particle events

The formulation follows that of: Ellison and Ramaty ApJ 298: 400-408, 1985 dJ/dE = K^{-gamma}exp(-E/E0)

and the defualt values are the 10/16/2003 SEP event of: Mewaldt, R. A., et al. (2005), J. Geophys. Res., 110, A09S18, doi:10.1029/2005JA011038.

Returns:

data : dm.SpaceData

Other Parameters:
 

norm : float

gamma : float

Power law index

E0 : float

Expoential scaling factor

Emin : float

Minimum energy for fit

Emax : float

Maximum energy for fit

nsteps : int

The number of log spaced energy steps to return
