The equivalent width WDIB as a function of foreground extinction AV. Small points are the individual sightline measurements, with the color indicating the mean extinction per kpc along each sightline toward the background star. The larger white circles are the WDIB medians in each Δlog AV = 0.04 bin, along with the uncertainty in the median, and the gray line is the fitted WDIB/AV relationship. Note that at low AV, a large fraction of the uncertainty is coming from the extinction measurement, rather than the DIB equivalent width.
