GEOFRACTAL

This code provides geometric cross-sections of randomly orientated fractal dust aggregates by means of a statistical distribution model of monomer particles.

Debye Series expansion / Improved BHMIE 

The code provides the light scattering solution of a homogeneous sphere by means of the Debye series expansion. The right figure shows an example of this code output. Also, an improved version of the BHMIE algorithm is available.

optool

Command-line driven tool to create dust opacities developed by Carsten Dominik. Two methods for irregularly shaped particles are implemented: DHS and MMF (OPACFRACTAL). This code is citable as Dominik, Min, and Tazaki (2021).
