Dust and the ultraviolet energy distribution of quasars
arXiv:astro-ph/0509733
Abstract
The ultraviolet energy distribution of quasars shows a sharp steepening of the continuum shortward of 1000 A (rest-frame). We describe how we came to consider the possibility that this continuum break might be the result of absorption by carbon crystallite dust grains.
