class UF23Field : public MagneticField 

UF23Field Galactic magnetic field model.

Implements the eight coherent magnetic field models of UF23 See: M. Unger and G.R. Farrar, Astrophys.J. 970 (2024) 95, arXiv:2311.12120

Assumes a galactocentric coordinate system with the Galactic center at the origin, the x-axis pointing in the opposite direction of the Sun, and the z-axis pointing towards Galactic North.
