Fig. 4.

Comparison of the GC IR extinction of Fritz et al. (2011); blue squares) with the best fit model extinction (red solid line) obtained from the combination of three extinction curves of RV = 2.1 (28%, dotted line), RV = 3.1 (39%, dashed line), and RV= 5.5 (33%, dot-dashed line). Also shown are the observed extinction toward the GC by Nishiyama et al. (2009); green triangles) and the best fit with our dust model (see Section 3; red dotted line).
