Attenuation Laws for Galaxies with Different Star Formation Histories, Based on the SDSS Images

Attenuation curves (laws) in the optical part of thespectrum (from about 3500 AA~to 9000 AA) are determined for galaxieswith different star formation histories (SFHs) using images in five photometrical bands from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Owing to large surveys like SDSS, it is possible t...
