Parameters
----------
flux : float
Total flux under the Gaussian curve, in given flux unit.
center : float
Central wavelength of the Gaussian curve, in given wavelength unit.
fwhm : float
FWHM of the Gaussian curve, in given wavelength unit.
waveunits, fluxunits : str
Wavelength and flux units, as accepted by `~pysynphot.units.Units`.
Defaults are Angstrom and ``flam``.
However, the total flux actually represents the integrated flux, not the monochromatic flux, therefore cannot be represented by the fluxunits. Instead of, say, flam, it is actually erg/s/cm^2.
c/c @vglaidler , not sure if you use Gaussian source in ETC.
