enumeration EnergyBand

Energyband provides a general set of energy regions that span the electromagnetic spectrum. The set of values and boundaries are taken from the VOResource metadata. odo{The name(s) are used to capture the literal values from VOResource, but that is not valid for X-ray and Gamma-ray}
