kordustest
Kordustest is a diagnostic framework used in astrophysics and related fields to characterize dust populations in various environments. It combines observational data with forward modeling to infer physical properties of dust, including grain size distributions, chemical composition, and optical constants.
The approach treats dust as a collection of grains with specified size ranges and materials, whose collective
Applications of Kordustest span several domains. In astronomy, it is used to study the interstellar medium,
Development and reception: the concept emerged in the late 2000s as datasets from space telescopes and ground-based
