Extinction Laws

Extinction Laws is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that specifies the wavelength-dependent attenuation of starlight due to interstellar dust, distinguishing itself from other radiative transfer models by quantifying the relative extinction across different wavelengths as a function of dust properties and geometry.
