NICERnicer_bkg_estimatorThe nicer_bkg_estimator tool implements the "space weather" method (Gendreau et al., in prep.) which uses environmental data to parse the background database. This tool uses a model of the magnetic cut-off rigidity as well as space weather data in the form of the planetary Kennziffer Index, or Kp index
