sigma_scat

This module combines the complex index of refraction (cmindex) and scattering algorithm (scatmodels) to calculate the total or differential cross-sections for a particular dust grain size distribution (dust).

Classes

The ScatModel object specifies what type of scattering physics will be used both through the complex index of refraction and the scattering physics algorithm.

The remaining classes contain cross-sections that are integrated over a particular dust grain size distribution.

Functions

The makeScatmodel function is a short-cut for creating a Scatmodel object based on two input strings (which become the stype and cmtype).
