Interstellar extinction in the UV.
Abstract
The UV interstellar extinction obtained from observations with the OAO 2, Copernicus, and TD 1 satellites is fitted to simple analytical expressions in the variable x = 1/lambda. The feature centered at a wavelength of about 2200 A can be fitted to a Lorentz profile; this result may be of physical significance.
