Description
Hello,
In the emulated flux density file (emu.load_flux([2850,5.246,0.07])), I have the normalized flux, while I need that in its original unit (for example, Jy or erg/cm2/s). How can I access to that?
Overall, can I use the following emulated spectrum (created by Starfish's emulator) as a PHOENIX atmospheric model for my star?
flux=emu.load_flux([2850,5.246,0.07])
wavelength = emu.wl
plt.scatter(wavelength, flux)
Actually, I don't know how to derive an atmospheric model using PHOENIX or other libraries for a star. I would be very grateful if you could guide me.

Research direction
Start with the emu.load_flux entry point and the emulator documentation mentioned in the issue. Clarify whether the returned flux is normalized, how its physical units could be obtained, and whether the emulated spectrum can serve as a PHOENIX atmospheric model; document the supported interpretation and limitations.
