RJCE Two-Dimensional EXTINCTION MAPS (MED)
Using 2MASS and GLIMPSE-I/-II/-3D and Vela-Carina data
Back
Choose the statistic: 90th MED
pixel size=2'x2'
The images were smoothed with a Gaussian FWHM=1.4'
These figures are from top to bottom: MSTO, RC, RGB, ALL, ALL E([3.6]-[4.5])-derived extinctions, STARCOUNTS (all stars)
MSTO: 0.0 < (J-Ks)o < 0.50 ; RC: 0.55 < (J-Ks)o < 0.85 ; RGB: 0.85 < (J-Ks)o < 1.4
The extinction maps are in units of A(Ks) ( A(H)=1.55 A(Ks) )
Pixels with no stars (high extinction or outer disk) and regions not covered by the surveys are indicated in white and have no calculated extinction.
The latitude range is mostly -1<b<+1 deg (but up to |b|<4 deg in the bulge), but in Vela-Carina region it is -1.5<b<-0.5 deg for 265<l<295 deg, and -0.5<b<-1.5 deg for 255<l<265 deg
