Abstract
The analyticity of the complex extinction efficiency is examined numerically in the size-parameter domain for homogeneous prolate and oblate spheroids and finite cylinders. The T-matrix code, which is the most efficient program available to date, is employed to calculate the individual particle-extinction efficiencies. Because of its computational limitations in the size-parameter range, a slightly modified Hilbert-transform algorithm is required to establish the analyticity numerically. The findings concerning analyticity that we reported for spheres (Astrophys. J. 399, 164-175, 1992) apply equally to these nonspherical particles.
