aep8 documentation

This Python package calculates the estimated flux of electrons or protons trapped in the Earth’s radiation belt. It is a Python wrapper for the NASA AE8/AP8 model in the IRBEM package. It provides an Astropy-friendly interface, allowing you to specify the location using Astropy coordinates, the time in Astropy time, and the energy using Astropy units. You can pass it a single time and location, or arrays of times and locations.
