UV Extinction Towards a Quiescent Molecular Cloud in the SMC
, 2012 Context: The mean UV extinction law for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is usually taken as a template for low-metallicity galaxies. However, its current derivation is based on only five stars, thus placing doubts on its universality. An increase in the

Astrophysics, 2016 This review describes our current understanding of interstellar extinction. This differ substantially from the ideas of the 20th century. With infrared surveys of hundreds of millions of stars over the entire sky, such as 2MASS, SPITZER-IRAC, and WISE, we have looked at the densest and most rarefied regions of the interstellar medium at distances of a ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Thirty years ago, biologists began to predict how climate change would alter species’ ranges, extinctions, and their roles in ecosystems (1). Since then, evidence has begun to confirm these nascent predictions. The current global temperature rise of ∼1 °C has shifted species up mountains and latitudes (2), altered the timing of key life events such as ...
