EXOSpy: A python package to investigate the terrestrial exosphere and its FUV emission

The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the terrestrial atmosphere, mainly composed of atomic hydrogen (H) that resonantly scatters solar far-ultraviolet (FUV) photons at 121.56 nm, also referred to as Lyman-Alpha (Ly-α) emission. Analysis of this emission has been used to determine the global, thre...
