G03_LMCAvg¶

class dust_extinction.averages.G03_LMCAvg(*args, meta=None, name=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: dust_extinction.baseclasses.BaseExtAveModel

Gordon et al (2003) LMCAvg Average Extinction Curve

Parameters

None

Raises

None

Notes

From Gordon et al. (2003, ApJ, 594, 279)

Example showing the average curve

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

from dust_extinction.averages import G03_LMCAvg

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# define the extinction model
ext_model = G03_LMCAvg()

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

ax.plot(x,ext_model(x),label='G03 LMCAvg')
ax.plot(ext_model.obsdata_x, ext_model.obsdata_axav, 'ko',
        label='obsdata')

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

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

Methods Documentation

evaluate(self, in_x)[source]¶

G03 LMCAvg 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
