Mapping Dust Attenuation and the 2175 Å Bump at Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies

We develop a novel approach to measure the dust attenuation properties of galaxies, including the dust opacity, the shape of the attenuation curve, and the strength of the 2175 Å absorption feature. From an observed spectrum, the method uses a model-independent approach to derive a relative attenuat...
