Galactic extinction: the Savage & Mathis model.

The interstellar extinction is calculated using the formula from [1]. This model is intended to be used to modify another model (e.g. by multiplying the two together). It is for use when the independent axis is in Angstrom.

Notes

When evaluated on a binned grid, the lower-edges of the bins are used for the calculation.

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs) [edit on github]
calc(p, x, xhi=None, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

Evaluate the model on a grid.

Parameters:
  • p (sequence of numbers) – The parameter values to use. The order matches the pars field.
  • *args – The model grid. The values can be scalar or arrays, and the number depends on the dimensionality of the model and whether it is being evaluated over an integrated grid or at a point (or points).
get_center() [edit on github]
guess(dep, *args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

Set an initial guess for the parameter values.

Attempt to set the parameter values, and ranges, for the model to match the data values. This is intended as a rough guess, so it is expected that the model is only evaluated a small number of times, if at all.
