For scattering calculations and formalism, we draw heavily on the treatise of Bohren & Huffman. We generally follow their conventions except where noted.

The package includes code from several sources. We thank Daniel Mackowski for allowing us to include his T-Matrix code, which computes scattering from clusters of spheres: SCSMFO1B.

We also make use of a modified version of the Python version of mpfit, originally developed by Craig Markwardt. The modified version we use is drawn from the stsci_python package.

We thank A. Ross Barnett for permitting us to use his routine SBESJY.FOR, which computes spherical Bessel functions.
