Restframe UV extinction laws at z~1

In this paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.4073v4), Conroy plots the observed B-R colors for DEEP2 galaxies as a function of redshift, and overplots the predicted colors for a constant star formation stellar population model using different attenuation curves. The left panel shows that a Milky-Way like curve without the 2175A "UV bump" seems to give the best result.
