Interstellar Dust and Extinction
Abstract
The ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum has been crucial in providing information on the nature of the material and size distribution of the particles of interstellar dust. Before there were any measurements of the UV properties of interstellar extinction, interstellar particles were believed to be composed primarily of dirty ices. The maximum of the interstellar extinction was believed to be at 0.3 μm, the shortest wavelength then observable. Both of these predictions were quite wrong (as are probably many of our present ideas regarding dust). The first rocket measurement (Stecher, 1965) showed that there is a very strong extinction feature at 0.22 μm. Now we also know the extinction increases dramatically towards the shortest wavelengths which can be reliably measured to date.

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.
