Dust attenuation strongly affects the observed spectral energy distributions of galaxies, introducing significant uncertainties in the derivation of key physical properties such as star formation rates, stellar masses, and metallicities.…

We examine the evolution of dust attenuation curve using a sample of 9504 disk star-forming galaxies (SFGs) selected from the CANDELS and 3D-HST surveys and a new technique relying on the fact that disk SFGs of similar stellar masses at the…
