摘要:

We present a sample of 75 extinction curves derived from FUSE far-ultraviolet spectra supplemented by existing IUE spectra. The extinction curves were created using the standard pair method based on a new set of dereddened FUSE+IUE comparison stars. Molecular hydrogen absorption features were removed using individualized H_2 models for each sightline. The general shape of the FUSE extinction (8.4 micron^-1 < lambda^-1 < 11 micron^-1) was found to be broadly consistent with extrapolations from the IUE extinction (3.3 micron-1 < lambda^-1 < 8.6 micron^-1) curve. Significant differences were seen in the strength of the far-UV rise and the width of the 2175 A bump. All the FUSE+IUE extinction curves had positive far-UV slopes giving no indication that the far-UV rise was turning over at the shortest wavelengths. The dependence of A(lambda)/A(V) versus R(V)^-1 in the far-UV using the sightlines in our sample was found to be stronger than tentatively indicated by previous work. We present an updated R(V) dependent relationship for the full UV wavelength range (3.3 micron^-1 <= lambda^-1 <= 11 micron^-1). Finally, we searched for discrete absorption features in the far-ultraviolet. We found a 3 sigma upper limit of ~0.12 A(V) on features with a resolution of 250 (~4 A width) and 3 sigma upper limits of ~0.15 A(V) for lambda^-1 < 9.6 micron^-1 and ~0.68 A(V) for lambda^-1 > 9.6 micron^-1 on features with a resolution of 10^4 (~0.1 A width).
