Description

Python package to read in and interpolate tables for the photon density of the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) and the resulting opacity for high energy gamma rays.


The latest release contains several new features and improvements:

  • The EBL model from Saldana Lopez et al. (2021)
  • The EBL model from Finke et al. (2022)
  • The EBL model from Franceschini et al. (2017)
  • improved testing
  • A new base interpolator class (PR #5 ) from which the optical depth and EBL classes inherit their base functionality. This drastically reduces code duplication
  • Issue #3 addressed the extension of the tau tables to zero for z = 0 which improves the interpolation behaviour
