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.
