Large surveys and determination of interstellar extinction
Abstract
The study of the spatial distribution of interstellar extinction, AV, is important for many investigations of galactic and extragalactic objects. Three-dimensional (3D) extinction models have been produced using spectral and photometric stellar data, open cluster data, star counts, the Galactic dust distribution model.
