Do note that this implementation is slower than the (compiled) FORTRAN implementation.
 
 Finally, the dispersion model used by Alexei Filippenko in 1982 is also included. This model is a combination of the (modified) Edlèn equation and a plane-parallel atmospheric geometry. This calculation can be accessed by calling the `Filippenko1982()` function.
