VizieR Online Data Catalog: Galactic interstellar dust Gaia-2MASS 3D maps (Lallement+, 2022)
Abstract
3D distribution of extinction density at 550nm in a 6kpc by 6 kpc by 0.8kpc volume around the Sun. The map is in Cartesian coordinates with the Sun at centre X,Y,Z=0,0,0. The X axis is directed to the Galactic Centre, the Y axis is along the direction of rotation, and the Z axis points to the Northern Galactic Pole. Distances X, Y, Z units are parsecs. The extinction density is in nanomagnitude per parsec.
Caution: read the article for assumptions during the inversion (especially the resolution) and errors at large distances or beyond very dense structures. (2 data files).- Publication:
