We produce a set of 72 NIR through UV extinction curves by combining new HST/STIS optical spectrophotometry with existing IUE spectrophotometry (yielding gapless coverage from 1150 to 10000 Angstroms) and NIR photometry. These curves are…
We present the analysis of a large sample of lines of sight with extinction curves covering wavelength range from near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV). We derive total to selective extinction ratios based on the Cardelli, Clayton and…
This study establishes that SMC, LMC and Milky Way extinction curves obey the same extinction law which depends on the 2200A bump size and one parameter, and generalizes the Cardelli, Clayton and Mathis (1989) relationship. This suggests…
We have used UV (FOCA) and FIR (IRAS) images of six nearby late type galaxies to study the radial variation of the UV extinction (deduced from the FIR/UV ratio). We compare the UV extinction gradient with other extinction indicators (Balmer…
The young stellar cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1: $l$=339.6$^\circ$, b=$-$0.4$^\circ$) is one of the most massive in the local Universe, but accurate parameters are pending on better determination of its extinction and distance. Based on our…
We analyze the optical-near infrared spectra of 33 quasars with redshifts 3.9<z<6.4 to investigate the properties of dust extinction at these cosmic epochs. The SMC extinction curve has been shown to reproduce the dust reddening of most…
We present optical and ultraviolet (UV) photometry and spectra of the very nearby and highly reddened supernova (SN) 2014J in M82 obtained with the Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT). Comparison of the UVOT grism spectra of…
Context. Observations of quasars shining through foreground galaxies, offer a way to probe the dust extinction curves of distant galaxies. Interesting objects for this study are found in strong gravitational lensing systems, where the…
We have made an extensive study of the UV spectrum of Eta Carinae, and find that we do not directly observe the star and its wind in the UV. Because of dust along our line of sight, the UV light that we observe arises from bound-bound…
We determine the extinction curve in the z_l=0.83 lens galaxy of the gravitational lens SBS0909+532 from the wavelength dependence of the flux ratio between the lensed quasar images (z_s=1.38) from 3400 to 9200\AA. It is the first…
We analyze the near-infrared to UV data of 16 quasars with redshifts ranging from 0.71 $<$ $z$ $<$ 2.13 to investigate dust extinction properties. The sample presented in this work is obtained from the High $A_V$ Quasar (HAQ) survey. The…
We present mean reddenings toward 3525 RR0 Lyrae stars from the Galactic bulge fields of the MACHO Survey. These reddenings are determined using the color at minimum $V$-band light of the RR0 Lyrae stars themselves and are found to be in…
We present ultraviolet (UV) observations of six nearby Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, three of which were also observed in the near-IR (NIR) with Wide-Field Camera~3. UV observations with the Swift…
In this paper we address the question whether the non-linear relation between the X-ray and UV emission of quasars can be used to derive their distances. In previous works of our group, we demonstrated that such a relation does not show any…
Extinction in ultraviolet is much more significant than in optical or infrared, which can be very informative to precisely measure the extinction and understand the dust properties in the low extinction areas. The high Galactic latitude sky…
Fundamental properties of the extinction curve, like the slope in the rest-frame UV and the presence/absence of a broad absorption excess centred at 2175A (the UV bump), are investigated for a sample of 108 massive, star-forming galaxies at…
We have assembled a UV-flux selected sample of 82 early-type galaxies and collected additional information at other wavelengths. These data confirm a large spread of the UV-V color in the range 2 to 5. The spread in UV-V is accompanied by a…
We determine the slope of the near infrared extinction power law (A$_{\lambda} \propto \lambda^{-\alpha}$) for 8 regions of the Galaxy between l$\sim27^{\circ}$ and $\sim100^{\circ}$. UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey data are compared, in…
We identify 182 flares on 158 stars within 100 pc of the Sun in both the near-ultraviolet (NUV: 1750-2750 \r{A}) and far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1350-1750 \r{A}) using high-cadence light curves from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX).…
We present the 970-1175 A spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 12 starburst galaxies observed with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer FUSE. We take benefit of the high spectral resolution of FUSE to estimate a continuum as much…
