Testing He ii Emission from Wolf–Rayet Stars as a Dust Attenuation Measure in Eight Nearby Star-forming Galaxies
The ability to determine galaxy properties such as masses, ages, and star formation rates robustly is critically limited by the ability to measure dust attenuation accurately. Dust reddening is often characterized by comparing observations to models of either nebular recombination lines or the UV co...
