Interstellar Extinction from Large Surveys

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Under some assumptions, information on interstellar extinction may be obtained from modern large photometric survey data. Virtual Observatory facilities allow users to make a fast and correct cross-identification of objects from various surveys.

Fitting procedure for estimating interstellar extinction at high galactic latitudes

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2021
We determine the interstellar extinction in the selected high-latitude areas of the sky based on Gaia EDR3 astrometry and photometry and spectroscopic data from RAVE survey.

SpeX Near-infrared Spectroscopic Extinction Curves in the Milky Way

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Interstellar dust extinction curves provide valuable information about dust properties, including the composition and size of the dust grains, and are essential to correct observations for the effects of interstellar dust.

Evolving interstellar extinction [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998
Interstellar dust containing carbon will necessarily have optical constants that respond to the local environment of the dust. This response may be sufficiently slow that the extinction produced by such dust may change on time-scales that are comparable to the likely cloud age.

The Ultraviolet to Mid-infrared Extinction Law of the Taurus Molecular Cloud Based on the Gaia DR3, GALEX, APASS, Pan-STARRS1, 2MASS, and WISE Surveys

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interstellar-dust extinction law is essential for interpreting observations. In this work, we investigate the ultraviolet (UV)–mid-infrared (IR) extinction law of the Taurus molecular cloud and its possible variations. We select 504,988 dwarf stars (4200

Dust Plasma Analogue for Interstellar 217.5 nm Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2008
The new ultraviolet (UV) extinction measurements of carbonaceous nanoparticles in the range from 140 nm to 260 nm are presented. The plasma polymerized hydrocarbon nanoparticles were already proposed as a new astro analogue, which describe the infrared (

One Relation for All Wavelengths: The Far-ultraviolet to Mid-infrared Milky Way Spectroscopic R(V)-dependent Dust Extinction Relationship

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Dust extinction is one of the fundamental measurements of dust grain sizes, compositions, and shapes. Most of the wavelength-dependent variations seen in Milky Way extinction are strongly correlated with the single parameter R ( V ) = A ( V )/ E ( B − V )

Modeling the infrared interstellar extinction [PDF]

open access: yesPlanetary and Space Science, 2014
How dust scatters and absorbs starlight in the interstellar medium (ISM) contains important clues about the size and composition of interstellar dust. While the ultraviolet (UV) and visible interstellar extinction is well studied and can be closely fitted in terms of various dust mixtures (e.g., the silicategraphite mixture), the infrared (IR ...

Interstellar Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics, 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 ...
