Parameters
----------
parent : ITransmissive
The parent element of the atmosphere from which the electromagnetic radiation is received.
This element is usually of type Target or StrayLight.
transmittance : str
Path to the file containing the spectral transmittance-coefficients of the atmosphere.
The format of the file will be guessed by `astropy.io.ascii.read()`.
emission : str
Path to the file containing the spectral radiance of the atmosphere.
The format of the file will be guessed by `astropy.io.ascii.read()`.
