TLDR
In this article, the basic data needed to produce UV extinction curves for a sample of 78 stars, including spectral types, visual photometry, parameters used to produce fits to the UV extinction curve, distances to the program stars, and line-of-sight H I column densities, are presented.Abstract:
The basic data needed to produce UV extinction curves for a sample of 78 stars, including spectral types, visual photometry, parameters used to produce fits to the UV extinction curves, distances to the program stars, and line-of-sight H I column densities, are presented. The observational and numerical techniques used to obtain the results are discussed in detail. The UV extinction curves and their analytic fits are shown graphically.read more

Correcting for the Effects of Interstellar Extinction
TL;DR: In this article, the main general features of extinction from the IR through the UV are reviewed, along with the nature of observed spatial variations, and several strategies for dereddening are discussed along with estimates of the uncertainties inherent in each method.

Infrared Emission from Interstellar Dust. II. The Diffuse Interstellar Medium
Aigen Li,Bruce T. Draine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a quantitative model for the infrared emission from dust in the diffuse interstellar medium, which consists of a mixture of amorphous silicate grains and carbonaceous grains, each with a wide size distribution ranging from molecules containing tens of atoms to large grains 1 μm in diameter.

A Quantitative Comparison of the Small Magellanic Cloud, Large Magellanic Cloud, and Milky Way Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Extinction Curves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared all known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with their understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves.

Analysis of galaxy spectral energy distributions from far-UV to far-IR with CIGALE: studying a SINGS test sample
TL;DR: In this paper, a code CIGALE (Code Investigating GALaxy Emission) that uses model spectra composed of the Maraston (or PEGASE) stellar population models, synthetic attenuation functions based on a modified Calzetti law, spectral line templates, the Dale & Helou dust emission models, and optional spectral templates of obscured AGN is presented.

A unified representation of gas-phase element depletions in the interstellar medium*
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of gas-phase element abundances reported in the literature for 17 different elements sampled over 243 sight lines in the local part of our Galaxy reveals that the depletions into solid form (dust grains) are extremely well characterized by trends that employ only three kinds of parameters: an index that describes the overall level of depletion applicable to the gas in any particular sight line, and linear coefficients that describe how to derive each element's depletion from this sight-line parameter.
