Extinction law from Hosek et al. (2018)

extinction_law_name = 'Hosek2018'

law_ref_wavelength = 2.14

min_wavelength = 0.8

max_wavelength = 2.2

Alambda_Aref(eff_wavelength: float) → float

Given an effective wavelength lambda_eff, calculate the relative extinction A_lambda/A_V

Parameters

eff_wavelengthfloat

Effective Wavelength of the filter for which the extinction should be determined. in micrometer
