SpeX NIR spectra and extinction curves

<p><strong>SpeX near-infrared&nbsp;spectra and measured extinction curves for a sample of Milky Way sightlines.</strong></p> <ul> <li><em>SpeX_spectra.zip</em> contains the SpeX near-infrared spectra of 15 comparison and 25 reddened O/B type Milky Way stars, that were used to measure&nbsp;extinction curves.</li> <li><em>Data_files.zip</em> contains the data files of the stars in the format required by the code.</li> <li><em>Ext_curves.zip</em> contains 15 measured extinction curves and the measured average diffuse Milky Way extinction curve.</li> </ul> <p>See our&nbsp;paper Decleir et al. (ApJ, submitted) for a detailed discussion of our method and results.</p> <p>See the associated <a href="https://github.com/mdecleir/spex_nir_extinction/tree/v1.0.0">spex_nir_extinction GitHub repository</a>&nbsp;(<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5806703#.YdYhrS-cY2I">Decleir et al. 2021</a>)&nbsp;for the code, Tables and Figures.</p> <p>This version (2.0) is an update from the first version (1.0), and is associated with the revised version of the paper. Changes include:</p> <ul> <li>updated uncertainties for R(V) in the headers of the extinction curve fits files.</li> <li>addition of&nbsp;1/R(V)&nbsp;in the headers of the extinction curve fits files.</li> <li>addition&nbsp;of comments&nbsp;in the data files about the references and quality of the&nbsp;photometry&nbsp;</li> </ul>
