Error in ELS bible

PSD calculation

PSD calculation in equation 10 contains a small error. According to the definition in the bible, earray is in eV and E is J/eV. Thus, \(earray \times E\) should be in J = kg m2 / s2. To use the unit of cm, the term should be changed to be \((1e2)^2 \times earray \times E\). So the correct expressions is \(PSD [cm^{-6} s^3] = \frac{raw \times m_e^2} {GF \times accutime \times 2 \times (1e4 \times earray \times E)^2 \times A_A}\)

The error has been corrected for the implementation of irfpy.vels.bible.flux.raw2psd().
