CCM89¶
- class dust_extinction.parameter_averages.CCM89(*args, meta=None, name=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Bases:
BaseExtRvModel
Cardelli, Clayton, & Mathis (1989) Milky Way R(V) dependent model
- Parameters:
- Rv: float
R(V) = A(V)/E(B-V) = total-to-selective extinction
- Raises:
- InputParameterError
Input Rv values outside of defined range
Notes
From Cardelli, Clayton, and Mathis (1989, ApJ, 345, 245)
Example showing CCM89 curves for a range of R(V) values.

CCM89 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
