The subpackage makes heavy use of |Quantity| for handling conversions between different unit systems. This is especially important for electron-volts, commonly used in plasma physics to denote temperature, although it is technically a unit of energy.
Most functions expect |Quantity| objects as inputs, however some will use the ~plasmapy.utils.decorators.validators.validate_quantities decorator to automatically cast arguments to |Quantity| objects with the appropriate units. If that happens, you will be notified via a astropy.units.UnitsWarning.
Please note that well-maintained physical constant data with units and uncertainties can be found in astropy.constants.
