Notes and Changes:

Interferometer FSR now included in CE curves (credit Jan Harms).

v9: Added representative O2 data (G1701571, rebinned). Removed O2 projected curve. Rebinned S6 data. Updated python script to be compatible with Python 3, and tweaked the plot output.

v10: Added O2 cross-spectrum from Shivaraj's alog 34203

v11: Changed Voyager curve to BlueBird5
