6. The average NIR Milky Way extinction curve can be represented by a power law Dust extinction is not uniform across the Milky Way, but depends on R(V) The telluric absorption complicates the features JWST to the rescue! extinction wavelength (µm) extinction wavelength (µm) extinction wavelength (µm) Decleir et al.
