Interstellar extinction curve variations towards the inner Milky Way: a challenge to observational cosmology [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate interstellar extinction curve variations toward $\sim$4 deg$^{2}$ of the inner Milky Way in $VIJK_{s}$ photometry from the OGLE-III and $VVV$ surveys, with supporting evidence from diffuse interstellar bands and $F435W,F625W$ photometry ...

Unified model for interstellar extinction and polarization [PDF]
, 1967 The development of improved techniques for measuring interstellar extinction and polarization has led to a revival of interest in the investigation of grain models.

Interstellar extinction by quartz grains [PDF]
, 1968 Knacke has pointed out that quartz particles possess strong absorption bands at λ ~ 10μ. Although these features occur in the spectral region 3-10μ, where Johnson has found humps in interstellar extinction curves, by itself

Time-series surveys and pulsating stars: The near-infrared perspective
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The purpose of this review is to discuss the advantages and problems of nearinfrared surveys in observing pulsating stars in the Milky Way. One of the advantages of near-infrared surveys, when compared to optical counterparts, is that the interstellar ...

Interstellar polarization and extinction in the Local Bubble and the Gould Belt [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We analyse an all-sky compilation of thirteen data sources with optical interstellar linear polarisation for 3871 {\it Gaia} DR2 and {\it Hipparcos} stars within 500 pc, which do not exhibit a considerable intrinsic polarisation.

Uncertainties in The Interstellar Extinction Curve and the Cepheid Distance to M101 [PDF]
, 2015 I revisit the Cepheid-distance determination to the nearby spiral galaxy M101 (Pinwheel Galaxy) of Shappee & Stanek (2011), in light of several recent investigations questioning the shape of the interstellar extinction curve at $\lambda \approx 8,000 ...

Interstellar extinction by spheroidal dust grains [PDF]
, 2005 Observations of interstellar extinction and polarization indicate that the interstellar medium consists of aligned non-spherical dust grains which show variation in the interstellar extinction curve for wavelengths ranging from NIR to UV.

Probing the 9.7 μm interstellar silicate extinction profile through the Spitzer/IRS spectroscopy of OB stars [PDF]
, 2018 The 9.7$\mu$m interstellar spectral feature, arising from the Si--O stretch of amorphous silicate dust, is the strongest extinction feature in the infrared (IR).

Interstellar extinction by composite grains
, 2001 Recent studies indicate that interstellar grains are composites of very small individual particles of silicates and carbon glued together into an aggregate.

The nature of interstellar dust as revealed by light scattering
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2011 Interstellar dust was first identified through the extinction that it causes of optical starlight. Initially, observational and theoretical studies of extinction were made to identify simple ways of removing the effect of extinction.
