Interstellar and Intra-Galactic Medium, Dust¶
Mily Way dust extinction map¶
Maps¶
- SFD98 Dust
Map
- Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis (see 1998 reference below) derived an all-sky map of Galactic reddening, E(B-V), from a composite 100 micron map formed from IRAS/ISSA maps calibrated using DIRBE observations.
- 3D Dust Mapping with Pan-STARRS 1, 2MASS and
Gaia
- These dust maps are based on Pan-STARRS 1 photometry of 800 million stars, 2MASS photometry of 200 million stars, and Gaia parallaxes of 500 million stars.

Tools¶
- SFD - Schlegel, Finkbeiner, David dust maps in Python
- dustmaps - A uniform interface for a number of 2D and 3D maps of
interstellar dust
reddening/extinction
- By Gregory Green. Including multiple dust maps.
- mwdust - Dust in 3D in the Milky
Way
- By Jo Bovy. Including multiple dust maps.
- dust_extinction - Astronomical Dust
Extinction
- This package provides astronomical interstellar dust extinction curves implemented using the astropy.modeling framework.
Interstellar Dust Model¶
- THEMIS - The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids
- SHIVA - a numerical tool for evolution of dust in the
ISM
- SHIVA simulates the dust destruction in warm neutral, warm ionized, and hot ionized media under the influence of photo-processing, sputtering, and shattering. Based on this work
