The data points have been collected from different sources and compiled in a set of files. The files and their are provided as they are without any guarantee that the values are acurate. If you do find inconsistencies or disagreement, please notify us/open an issue.
Within each data file, the units have been adapted to a common format. The units are not identical for the different files. Please find below
additional informations. We have included a sample notebook to read in the files and overplot the best fitting model from the publication for

In addition to the data, we have included the set of curves shown in Fig.
as two separate tables synctable.txt
for the synchrotron
emission and ictable.txt
for the inverse Compton emission.
