Abstract

This paper presents the interstellar extinction curves derived from the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectra with the aid of the already published `artificial standards'. The variety of possible shapes of the curves, demonstrated earlier on spectra from the TD/1 satellite, is fully confirmed.
