scatmodels

This module contains built-in algorithms for Mie scattering and the Rayleigh-Gans approximation.

API for Scattering classes

class Scattering (object)

FUNCTIONS

Qsca with inputs

( E : scalar or np.array [keV]

cm : cmtype object cmindex.py

a : scalar [grain size, micron] )

returns scalar or np.array [scattering efficiency, unitless]

Diff with inputs

( cm : cmtype object from cmindex.py

theta : scalar or np.array [angle, arcsec]

a : scalar [grain size, micron]

E : scalar or np.array [energy, keV]

** if len(E) > 1 and len(theta) > 1, then len(E) must equal len(theta)

returns dsigma/dOmega of values (E0,theta0), (E1,theta1) etc...

(optional)

Qext with inputs

( E : scalar or np.array [keV]

cm : cmtype object cmindex.py

a : scalar [grain size, micron] )

returns scalar or np.array [extinction efficiency, unitless]
