消光曲线

常用消光曲线,

• simple power-law $\lambda ^{-1}$
• the Milky Way (MW) extinction curve (with a prominent bump at 2175)
• the featureless Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) extinction curve which steeply rises with inverse wavelength from near-IR to far-UV
• the LargeMagellanic Cloud (LMC) curve being intermediate between that of the MW and the SMC;
• the featureless “Calzetti” attenuation law for the dust in local starburst galaxies (Calzetti et al. 1994);
• the relatively flat “Maiolino” extinction law for the dust in the dense circumnuclear region of AGNs (Maiolino et al. 2001) where the dust size distribution is skewed toward large grains

• 一种认为和SMC差不多 Hopkins et al. (2004)
• 一种认为比较平 (Czerny et al. 2004; Gaskell et al. 2004).
