Interstellar Ultraviolet Extinction

Interstellar Ultraviolet Extinction is a physical phenomenon in astrophysics characterized by the selective attenuation of ultraviolet radiation from celestial sources due to the absorption and scattering of photons by interstellar dust grains and gas along the line of sight through the interstellar medium.
