An average interstellar extinction curve for the Large Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
In a recent paper (Fitzpatrick, 1985) the author examined the properties of ultraviolet interstellar extinction curves in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) utilizing International Ultraviolet Explorer observations of 19 reddened O and B type LMC supergiants. The author has now obtained IUE observations of an additional eight reddened LMC OB supergiants, all located well outside the 30 Doradus area. He discusses the extinction properties toward these eight stars and combines the new data with the non-30 Doradus data from the earlier paper to develop a clearer picture of typical LMC extinction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
