RayleighComponent

class nyx.atmosphere.components.RayleighComponent

Bases: ScatteringComponent

Rayleigh molecular scattering.

Build the component.

Parameters:

• wvls (array-like) – Wavelength grid in nm.

• pressure_hpa (float or None) – Station pressure. When given it fixes the air column and the observer height is ignored; otherwise the column falls back to exp(-height / scale_height_km).

• scale_height_km (float) – Scale height of the barometric fallback.
