Astronomical Dust Extinction
Work on MW and SMC has resulted in reasonable default bounds for the FM90 shape model. Should be added to the definition of this model. Can always be overridden. Code...
Extending the G03 averages to 912 A would be useful. These averages use FM90 parameters for the UV. Extrapolating with FM90 this way has been shown to work quite well...
Would be cool to have a logo. Astropy and other logos often have a snake (python) in them. One idea: a snake in the rough outline of the MW NIR/optical/UV...
Just listened to Arfon Smith's talk at Python in Astronomy 2018 on getting credit for software in astronomy. Publishing a citable paper is one way. The Journal of Open Source...
need a section in the documentation that says way extinction only measures scattering out of the beam and the scattering into the beam is negligible. Local background subtraction and small...
Would be good to have such code to replicate the functionality of ccm_unred (and fm_unred) as some general users are likely familiar with this way of using dust extinction curve....
Got an email about this use case. Email below and my response. Need to add docs for this use case. (Note name of user removed on purpose as I have...
