F19¶

class dust_extinction.parameter_averages.F19(Rv=3.1, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: BaseExtRvModel

Fitzpatrick et al (2019) extinction model calculation

Fitzpatrick, Massa, Gordon et al. (2019, ApJ, 886, 108) model. Based on a sample of stars observed spectroscopically in the optical with HST/STIS.

Parameters:

Rv: float: R(V) = A(V)/E(B-V) = total-to-selective extinction

Raises:

InputParameterError: Input Rv values outside of defined range

Notes

F19 Milky Way R(V) dependent extinction model

Example showing F19 curves for a range of R(V) values.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import astropy.units as u

from dust_extinction.parameter_averages import F19

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# temp model to get the correct x range
text_model = F19()

# generate the curves and plot them
x = np.arange(text_model.x_range[0],
              text_model.x_range[1],0.1)/u.micron

Rvs = [2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0]
for cur_Rv in Rvs:
   ext_model = F19(Rv=cur_Rv)
   ax.plot(x,ext_model(x),label='R(V) = ' + str(cur_Rv))

ax.set_xlabel(r'$x$ [$\mu m^{-1}$]')
ax.set_ylabel(r'$A(x)/A(V)$')

ax.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()

Rv_range = [2.0, 6.0]¶

x_range = [0.3, 8.7]¶

Methods Documentation

evaluate(in_x, Rv)[source]¶

F19 function

Parameters:

in_x: float

expects either x in units of wavelengths or frequency or assumes wavelengths in wavenumbers [1/micron]

internally wavenumbers are used

Returns:

axav: np array (float): A(x)/A(V) extinction curve [mag]

Raises:

ValueError: Input x values outside of defined range
