Interstellar Dust Extinction

dust_extinction is a python package to provide interstellar dust extinction curves.

While there are other python packages that provide some of the extinction curves contained here, the explicit motivation for this package is to provide extinction curves to those using them to model/correct their data and those studying extinction curves directly to better undertand interstellar dust.

This package is developed in the astropy affiliated package template and uses the astropy.modeling framework.
