/**
 * \author Sathyaprakash, B. S., Cokelaer T.
 * \ingroup LALNoiseModels_h
 * \brief Module to calculate the noise power spectral density for the VIRGO detector.
 *
 * ### Description ###
 *
 * The module takes as an input a frequency \f$f\f$ in Hz, and it
 * calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \f$S_{h}(f)\f$
 * for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by
 * J-Y. Vinet and is approximated by
 * the following:
 * \f{equation}{
 * S_h(f) =
 * s_0 \left ( \frac {7.87f}{f_0} \right )^{-4.8} + \frac{6}{17} \frac{f_0}{f}
 * + \left [1 + \left (\frac {f}{f_0} \right)^2 \right ],
 * \f}
 * where \f$s_0=10.2e-46\f$
