A First Taste of MEAD (Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust). I. Diffuse Milky Way Interstellar Dust Extinction Features in JWST Infrared Spectra

We present the initial results of the Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust project, with a focus on the dust extinction features observed in our JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra of nine diffuse Milky Way sightlines (1.2 ≤ A ( V ) ≤ 2.5). For the first time, we find strong correlations betw...
