Super Exponential Cutoff Power Law Model used for 4FGL-DR3#
This model parametrises super exponential cutoff power-law model spectrum used for 4FGL.
It is defined by the following equation:
\[\begin{split}\phi(e) =
\begin{cases}
\phi_0 \cdot \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{\frac{\a}{\Gamma_2} -\Gamma_1} \cdot \exp \left(
\frac{\a}{\Gamma_2^2} \left( 1 - \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{\frac{\a}{\Gamma_2} \right)
\right)&
\\
\phi_0 \cdot \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{ -\Gamma_1 - \frac{\a}{2} \ln \frac{E}{E_0} - \frac{\a \Gamma_2}{6} \ln^2 \frac{E}{E_0} - \frac{\a \Gamma_2^2}{24} \ln^3 \frac{E}{E_0}}\\
0 & \text{for } \left| \Gamma_2 \ln \frac{E}{E_0} \right|
\end{cases}\end{split}\]
