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).

Highly reddened type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) with low total-to-selective visual extinction ratio values, $R_V$, also show peculiar linear polarization wavelength dependencies with peak polarizations at short wavelengths ($lambda_{max} lesssim 0.4 mu m
$). It is not clear why sightlines to SNe Ia display such different continuum polarization profiles from interstellar sightlines in the Milky Way with similar $R_V$ values. We investigate polarization profiles of a sample of Galactic stars with low $R_V$ values, along anomalous extinction sightlines, with the aim to find similarities to the polarization profiles that we observe in SN Ia sightlines. We undertook spectropolarimetry of 14 stars, and used archival data for three additional stars, and run dust extinction and polarization simulations to infer a simple dust model that can reproduce the observed extinction and polarization curves. Our sample of Galactic stars with low $R_V$ values and anomalous extinction sightlines displays normal polarization profiles with an average $lambda_{max} sim 0.53 {mu m}$, and is consistent within 3$sigma$ to a larger coherent sample of Galactic stars from literature. Despite the low $R_V$ values of dust towards the stars in our sample, the polarization curves do not show any similarity to the continuum polarization curves observed towards SNe Ia with low $R_V$ values. There is a correlation between the best-fit Serkowski parameters $K$ and $lambda_{max}$, but we did not find any significant correlation between $R_V$ and $lambda_{max}$. Our simulations show that the $K-lambda_{max}$ relationship is an intrinsic property of polarization. Furthermore, we have shown that in order to reproduce polarization curves with normal $lambda_{max}$ and low $R_V$ values, a population of large (a $geq 0.1 mu m$) interstellar silicate grains must be contained in the dusts composition.
Launch of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has been followed by an extensive period of calibration and characterization as part of the preparation for normal satellite operations. Major tasks carried out during this period include in
itial coalignment, focusing and characterization of the four instrument channels, and a preliminary measurement of the resolution and throughput performance of the instrument. We describe the results from this test program, and present preliminary estimates of the on-orbit performance of the FUSE satellite based on a combination of this data and prelaunch laboratory measurements.
We combine VI photometry from OGLE-III with VVV and 2MASS measurements of E(J-K_{s}) to resolve the longstanding problem of the non-standard optical extinction toward the Galactic bulge. We show that the extinction is well-fit by the relation A_{I} =
0.7465*E(V-I) + 1.3700*E(J-K_{s}), or, equivalently, A_{I} = 1.217*E(V-I)(1+1.126*(E(J-K_{s})/E(V-I)-0.3433)). The optical and near-IR reddening law toward the inner Galaxy approximately follows an R_{V} approx 2.5 extinction curve with a dispersion {sigma}_{R_{V}} approx 0.2, consistent with extragalactic investigations of the hosts of type Ia SNe. Differential reddening is shown to be significant on scales as small as as our mean field size of 6, with the 1{sigma} dispersion in reddening averaging 9% of total reddening for our fields. The intrinsic luminosity parameters of the Galactic bulge red clump (RC) are derived to be (M_{I,RC}, sigma_{I,RC,0}, (V-I)_{RC,0}, sigma_{(V-I)_{RC}}, (J-K_{s})_{RC,0}) = (-0.12, 0.09, 1.06, 0.121, 0.66). Our measurements of the RC brightness, brightness dispersion and number counts allow us to estimate several Galactic bulge structural parameters. We estimate a distance to the Galactic center of 8.20 kpc, resolving previous discrepancies in distance determinations to the bulge based on I-band observations. We measure an upper bound on the tilt {alpha} approx 40{deg}. between the bars major axis and the Sun-Galactic center line of sight, though our brightness peaks are consistent with predictions of an N-body model oriented at {alpha} approx 25{deg}. The number of RC stars suggests a total stellar mass for the Galactic bulge of 2.0*10^{10} M_{odot}, if one assumes a Salpeter IMF.
We have analysed FUSE far-UV spectra of a sample of 16 local starbursts. These galaxies span ranges of almost three orders-of-magnitude in star formation rate and over two orders-of-magnitude in stellar mass. We find that the strongest interstellar a
bsorption-lines are generally blueshifted relative to the galaxy systemic velocity by ~50 to 300 km/s, implying the presence of starburst-driven galactic outflows. The outflow velocites increase on-average with the star formation rate and the star formation rate per unit mass. We find that outflowing coronal-phase (T ~ several hundred thousand K) gas detected via the OVI 1032 absorption line in nearly every galaxy. The kinematics of this outflowing gas differs from the lower-ionization material, and agrees with predictions for radiatively cooling gas (most likely created at the interface between the hot outrushing gas traced by X-rays and cool ambient material). Emission from the coronal gas is not generally detected, implying that radiative cooling by this phase is not affecting the dynamics/energetics of the wind. We find that the weaker interstellar absorption lines lie close to the systemic velocity, implying that the outflowing gas has a lower column density than the quiescent gas in the starburst. From direct observation below the Lyman edge and from the small residual intensity at the core of the CII 1036 line, we conclude that the absolute escape fraction of ionizing radiation is small (typically less than a few percent). This sample provides a unique window on the global properties of local starburst galaxies and a useful comparison sample for understanding spectra of high redshift galaxies.
Extinction in ultraviolet is much more significant than in optical or infrared, which can be very informative to precisely measure the extinction and understand the dust properties in the low extinction areas. The high Galactic latitude sky is such a
n area, important for studying the extragalactic sky and the universe. Based on the stellar parameters measured by the LAMOST and GALAH spectroscopy and the ultraviolet photomery by the emph{GALEX} space telescope, the extinction of 1,244,504 stars in the emph{GALEX}/NUV band and 56,123 stars in the emph{GALEX}/FUV band are calculated precisely. textbf{The error of color excess is 0.009, 0.128 and 0.454 mag for $E_{rm G_{BP}, G_{RP}}$, $E_{rm NUV,G_{BP}}$ and $E_{rm FUV,G_{BP}}$ respectively.} They delineates the emph{GALEX}/NUV extinction map of about a third of the sky mainly at the high Galactic latitude area with an angular resolution of $sim 0.4,, rm deg$. The mean color excess ratio in the entire sky areas is derived to be 3.25, 2.95 and -0.37 for $E_{{rm NUV,G_{BP}}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$, $E_{{rm FUV,G_{BP}}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$ and $E_{{rm FUV,NUV}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$ respectively, which is in general agreement with the previous works, and their changes with the Galactic latitude and the interstellar extinction are discussed.
