One Relation for All Wavelengths: The Far-Ultraviolet to Mid-Infrared Milky Way Spectroscopic R(V) Dependent Dust Extinction Relationship

Karl D. Gordon, Geoffrey C. Clayton, Marjorie Decleir +4

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 s…

An Analysis of the Shapes of Interstellar Extinction Curves. VIII. The Optical Extinction Structure

D. Massa, E. L. Fitzpatrick, K. D. Gordon

New HST/STIS optical spectra were obtained for a sample of early type stars with existing IUE UV spectra. These data were used to construct optical extinction curves whose general…

An Analysis of the Shapes of Interstellar Extinction Curves. VII. Milky Way Spectrophotometric Optical-through-Ultraviolet Extinction and Its R-Dependence

Edward L. Fitzpatrick, Derck Massa, Karl D. Gordon +2

We produce a set of 72 NIR through UV extinction curves by combining new HST/STIS optical spectrophotometry with existing IUE spectrophotometry (yielding gapless coverage from 1150…

New Ultraviolet Extinction Curves for Interstellar Dust in M31

Geoffrey C. Clayton, Karl D. Gordon, Luciana C. Bianchi +4

New low-resolution UV spectra of a sample of reddened OB stars in M31 were obtained with HST/STIS to study the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction and the nature of th…

The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy from eclipsing binaries

F. Vilardell, I. Ribas, C. Jordi +2

The cosmic distance scale largely depends on distance determinations to Local Group galaxies. In this sense, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a key rung to better constrain the cosmic…

An Analysis of the Shapes of Interstellar Extinction Curves. V. The IR-Through-UV Curve Morphology

E. L. Fitzpatrick, D. Massa

We study the IR-through-UV interstellar extinction curves towards 328 Galactic B and late-O stars. We use a new technique which employs stellar atmosphere models in lieu of unredde…
