        Parameters
        ----------
        file : str
            The file to read the spectral flux density values from. The file needs to provide two columns: wavelength
            and the corresponding spectral flux density. The format of the file will be guessed by
            `astropy.io.ascii.read(). If the file doesn't provide units via astropy's enhanced CSV format, the units
            will be read from the column headers or otherwise assumed to be *nm* and *W / m^2 / nm*.
        wl_bins : length-Quantity
            Wavelengths used for binning
        size : str
            The size of the target. Can be either point or extended.
