Interstellar Extinction Curves

Interstellar Extinction Curves is a graphical representation of the wavelength-dependent attenuation of starlight caused by interstellar dust and gas, distinguished by its ability to quantify the selective absorption and scattering of photons across ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths, thereby characterizing the properties of interstellar matter in astronomical observations.
