Expected output

Flare frequency distribution (FFD) for Proxima Centauri between 10^34 and 10^36 ergs. The red, orange, dark blue, and pale blue lines represent the FFD from Davenport et. al (2019) at 1 Myr, 10 Myr, 100 Myr and 1Gyr, respectively. The black line is the Lacy et. al (1976) model, where the FFD is constant for all the stellar ages.
