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:
\[\begin{split}\phi(E) = \begin{cases} \phi_0 \cdot \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{\frac{a}{\Gamma_2} -\Gamma_1} \cdot \exp \left( \frac{a}{\Gamma_2^2}\left( 1 - \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{\Gamma_2} \right) \right) \\ \phi_0 \cdot \left(\frac{E}{E_0}\right)^{ -\Gamma_1 - \frac{a}{2} \ln \frac{E}{E_0} - \frac{a \Gamma_2}{6} \ln^2 \frac{E}{E_0} - \frac{a \Gamma_2^2}{24} \ln^3 \frac{E}{E_0}} & \text{for } \left| \Gamma_2 \ln \frac{E}{E_0} \right| < 10^{-2} \end{cases}\end{split}\]
