Calzetti extinction curve above 3700A #5

Open monodera opened 9 years ago

monodera commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I found that Barak.extinction.starburst_Calzetti00 assumes the MW extinction by Cardelli et al. (1989). The resulting Calzetti curve from Barak has a sharp discontinuity because of this (as attached). Is there any particular reason to assume the C89 MW curve above 3700A, rather than following the original recipe?

Thanks for letting me know about this. The discontinuity is definitely a bug, but assuming the MW extinction curve above ~4000 Angstroms may not be. I'll look into it.
