In 1979-80, ultraviolet spectrophotometry of RY Sgr was obtained by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) during the star's recovery from its 1977-78 minimum. The wavelength dependence of the extinction of this R Coronae Borealis-type variable was determined by comparison of spectra obtained at different times but with nearly the same pulsational phase. The measured wavelength dependence is compatible with theoretical predictions of extinction by spherical graphite particles having a radius of 0.043 micron and with the extinction observed for amorphorus carbon smoke.
