Interstellar reddening of a stars blackbody spectrum

Reference no: EM13547087

Interstellar reddening of a stars blackbody spectrum can complicate the estimation of a star's temperature by distorting the blue (short wavelength) end of a star's spectrum. Describe the cause and how this reddening occurs.
