dust_extinction is a python package to provide models of interstellar dust extinction curves.
Extinction describes the effects of dust on a single star. The dust along the line-of-sight to the stars removes flux by absorbing photons or scattering photons out of the line-of-sight. In general, extinction models are used to model or correct the effects of dust on observations a single star.
In contrast, dust attenuation refers to the effects of dust on the measurements of groups of stars mixed with dust or stars with circumstellar dust. See Extinction versus Attenuation . For attenuation models, see the dust_attenuation package .
