The interstellar extinction law from 1 to 13 microns
Abstract
Measurements from 1 to 13 μm are reported for ο Sco and for stars in the galactic center. The interstellar extinction law toward these sources and toward VI Cyg No. 12 is the same from 1 to 13 μm. An improved estimate of the extinction law beyond 3 μm is presented, including an improved ratio of total to selective extinction, R ≈ 3.09±0.03, and an improved ratio of total extinction to optical depth in the 10 μm silicate absorption, Av/τSi = 16.6±2.1.

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.
