Interstellar Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics, 2017
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 ...

Correcting for the Effects of Interstellar Extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This paper addresses the issue of how best to correct astronomical data for the wavelength‐dependent effects of Galactic interstellar extinction. The main general features of extinction from the IR through the UV are reviewed, along with the nature of ...

An Analysis of the Shapes of Interstellar Extinction Curves. VII. Milky Way Spectrophotometric Optical-through-ultraviolet Extinction and Its R-dependence [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
We produce a set of 72 NIR-through-UV extinction curves by combining new Hubble Space Telescope/STIS optical spectrophotometry with existing International Ultraviolet Explorer spectrophotometry (yielding gapless coverage from 1150 to 10000 Å) and NIR ...

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

Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. IV. The Impact of Interstellar Extinction on the Light Curves of Eclipsing Binaries [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019
Traditionally, the effects of interstellar extinction on binary star light curves have been treated as a uniform reduction in the observed brightness of the system that is independent of the orbital phase.

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 )

Towards understanding physical origin of 2175 Å extinction bump in interstellar medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The 2175 A ultraviolet (UV) extinction bump in interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way was discovered in 1965. After intensive exploration of more than a half century, however, its exact origin still remains a big conundrum that is being debated. Here

High spatial resolution galactic 3D extinction mapping with IPHAS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present an algorithm (MEAD, for 'Mapping Extinction Against Distance') which will determine intrinsic (r' - i') colour, extinction, and distance for early-A to K4 stars extracted from the IPHAS r'/ i'/H alpha photometric data base.

New Candidate Massive Clusters from 2MASS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Massive stars are important for the evolution of the interstellar medium. The detailed study of their properties (such as mass loss, rotation, magnetic fields) is enormously facilitated by samples of these objects in young massive galactic star clusters.
