Report
The detection of a broad interstellar extinction feature near 1700 A
Creators
Description
A statistical examination of 126 extinction curves has revealed the presence of a second broad absorption feature similar in nature to the 2200 A feature. The feature is centered on wavelength 1706 A, has a full half-width of 350 A, and a mean central height of 0.21 magnitudes. The strength of the feature increases with E(B-V) supporting an interstellar origin, and on average it is 18 times weaker than the 2200 A feature
