Interstellar Dust Extinction — dust_extinction v1.3
dust_attenuation is a python package to provide models of interstellar dust attenuation curves.
Attenuation describes the effects of dust on a group of stars or a star with circumstellar dust. The effects include in attenuation are dust absorption, dust scattering out of the line-of-sight, and dust scattering into the line-of-sight. In general, attenuation models are used to model or correct the effects of dust on observations of galaxies (or regions thereof).
In contrast, dust extinction refers to the effects of dust on measurements of a single star. See Attenuation versus Extinction . For extinction models, see the dust_extinction package .
