measure_extinction: Measure interstellar dust extinction using pair method
Abstract
measure_extinction measures extinction due to dust absorbing photons or scattering photons out of the line-of-sight. Extinction applies to the case for a star seen behind a foreground screen of dust. This package provides the tools to measure dust extinction curves using observations of two effectively identical stars, differing only in that one is seen through more dust than the other.
