By combining imaging from the Swift/UVOT instrument and optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we derive the extinction curve parametrized by the standard R_V_ factor, and the strength of the NUV 2175 {AA} feature - quantified by a parameter B - out to projected galactocentric distances of 4 kpc. Our analysis is robust against possible degeneracies from the properties of the underlying stellar populations. Both B and R_V_ correlate with galactocentric distance, revealing a systematic trend of the dust properties. Our results confirm previous findings that dust in M82 is better fitted by a Milky Way standard extinction curve, in contrast to a Calzetti law. We find a strong correlation between R_V_ and B, towards a stronger NUV bump in regions with higher R_V_, possibly reflecting a distribution with larger dust grain sizes. The data we use were taken before SN2014J, and therefore can be used to probe the properties of the interstellar medium before the event. Our R_V_ values around the position of the supernova are significantly higher than recent measurements post-SN2014J (R_V_~1.4). This result is consistent with a significant change in the dust properties after the supernova event, either from disruption of large grains or from the contribution by an intrinsic circumstellar component. Intrinsic variations among supernovae not accounted for could also give rise to this mismatch.2015MNRAS.452.1412Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/452/1412CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AJ/121/768 : BVIJH photometry of M82 (de Grijs+, 2001)J/ApJ/619/270 : Young super star clusters in the starburst of M82 (Melo+, 2005)J/ApJ/679/404 : Star clusters in M82 (Mayya+, 2008)J/ApJ/766/20 : HST photometry of star clusters in M82 (Lim+, 2013)J/ApJS/216/6 : Opt-NIR HST photometry of cluster candidates in M82 (Li+, 2015)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/452/1412GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/452/1412/table3 (Dust and SSP-stellar parameters of M82)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/452/1412/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/452/1412/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/452/1412/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true149.1520569.702950.0055555555555555566/7606https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/452/1412?format=asciiUVdefaultJ/MNRAS/452/1412/table3Dust and SSP-stellar parameters of M82e_BUncertainty in B (2)stat.errorfloatrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
