摘要
We reexamined the total extinction along the sightline of a quasar (J004457+4123) behind the disk of M31 and used a varying total-to-selective extinction ratio in order to obtain a better agreement between its optical spectrum and a composite SDSS spectrum based on input spectra of quasars from DR7 at similar redshifts. The M31 outermost disk predominates (similar to 85%) the total foreground (Milky Way+M31) selective extinction EB-V = 0.30 +/- 0.05 mag and the derived gas-to-dust ratio is N(H)/EB-V = (3.5 +/- 0.7) x 10(20) at cm(-2) mag(-1).
