A catalogue of visual extinction in Taurus and Perseus.
Abstract
A catalogue containing high angular resolution data on visual extinction in Taurus and Perseus has been compiled from star counts on the prints of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS). This catalogue may serve as a finding list for infrared and radio molecular searches of protostellar objects and high density regions. It could be used as a statistical source of data for fragmentation and physical properties studies of dark clouds. The star counts procedure is discussed.
