Abstract
We introduce DustRover, an open-source Python package designed to model dust extinction curves using multi-wavelength regimes. DustRover supports optical/infrared spectroscopy, broadband photometry, and X-ray data within a unified framework, enabling robust analysis of dust extinction curves in distant galaxies. The software features a modular architecture that strictly decouples data management, dust models, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based statistical fitting. The package is highly user-oriented, using simple YAML configuration files and offering built-in visualisation tools for SEDs and extinction curves.
