colour excess

Japanese: colour excess(英語表記)colourexcess
colour excess

…The attenuation (absorption and scattering) of starlight by interstellar matter is roughly inversely proportional to the wavelength λ in the visible wavelength range, so blue light with a short wavelength is attenuated more than red light, and the light of distant stars appears red. The difference between the observed value of the color index of a star and the color index corresponding to the star's spectral type is called the color excess, and is used to indicate the degree of spatial reddening. In general, solid particles smaller than the wavelength λ of light scatter light in proportion to 1/ λ4 if they are dielectrics (such as ice or stone), and absorb it in proportion to 1/λ if they are metals. …

Japanese:

…星の光の星間物質による減光(吸収と散乱)は可視光の波長域で波長λにほぼ反比例するので,波長の短い青い光は赤い光より強く減光され,遠くの星の光は赤く見える。星の色指数の観測値と,その星のスペクトル型に対応する色指数の差を色超過colour excessといい,空間赤化の大きさを示すのに用いられる。一般に光の波長λより小さい固体微粒子は,誘電体(氷や石など)であれば光を1/λ4に比例して散乱し,金属であれば1/λに比例して吸収する。…
