Welcome to dust_mie’s documentation!

mie_dust is a simple wrapper for miepython.

It evaluates the complex indices of refraction for several astrophysical dust particles as well as can average optical properties over a distribution of particle sizes.

The raw code is accessible at https://github.com/eas342/dust_mie
