DustyGlow is a standalone python library with Fortran legacy routines for absorption (attenuation) and python scripts for remission of dust in the IR. IMPORTANT: It uses the optically thin limit.

LOGS | |
19/12/2022 | J.G. changed nomenclature from Remission to Reemission. All directories and routines were affected |
18/11/2022 | A.P. added photometric and output directories to PyDust |
24/10/2022 | J.G. added new format for LOGs added. Verification and change of directory structure |
16/10/2021 | J.G. uploaded the routines concerning absorption in the UV/Optical. Try to plot them as a function of wavelength from 91 to 15000 Angstroms to see the different behavior of extinction laws. |
15/01/2022 | J.G. uploaded correction for the reddening laws. We can use as well to compare the extinction package, but it is limited to a few extinction laws.
J.G. added a directory called Literature. Please feel free to include papers of interest. |
14/01/2022 | J.G. uploaded the recorded video from our joint meeting on 13/01/2022. The purpose of this meeting was to have a first grasp of the PyDust.py module. |
12/01/2022 | J.G. uploaded the PyDust module written in Python. |
05/06/2023 | J.G. modified the PyDust module in order to implement optimisation |
25/09/2023 | J.G. modified the name PyDust to DustyGlow, since there was during this year a registration of the PyDust package on the PyPI library, which is not related to astronomy. |
25/09/2023 | J.G. registered the name DustyGlow in the PyPI platform. |
