The Dust Extinction Curve: Beyond R(V) by Gregory M. Green, Xiangyu Zhang, Ruoyi Zhang

“…We identify a number of components that are orthogonal to R ( V ) variation, and we show that these components vary across the sky in coherent patterns that resemble interstellar medium (ISM) structure. These components encode variation in the 770 nm extinction feature, intermediate-scale and very broad structure, and a newly identified feature at 850 nm, and they likely trace both dust composition and local conditions in the ISM. …”
