Request: support for spectral flux-per-area

Open ariedel opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

The JWST ETC uses backgrounds given in MJy/sr (extended source brightness units), but synphot does not support this.

It would be convenient to the project (and presumably astronomers working with extended sources like galaxies or nebulae) to support MJy/sr as a spectral unit.
