Study of interstellar extinction
Abstract
Contemporary 3D extinction maps are based on high-quality spectroscopic observations available only for bright stars and provide limited angular resolution. Parametrisation based on multicolor photometry drastically expands number of objects and improves resolution. We measure parameters of interstellar extinction for four control fields in high galactic latitudes applying data from 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX and UKIDSS surveys.
