ISM Extinction Curve

Notice this is inverse wavelength àOr “wavenumber”

Whittet – Dust in Galactic Environment

Typical Al Table

Adapted from Rieke & Lebofsky 1986

Column Density vs. E(B-V) Relation

Rachford et al. 2009

Infrared Extinction Curve

Notice we’ve switched back to àjust wavelength

Falls off like a power-law tpfar-IR/radio
