Galactic Dust Reddening and Extinction

The Galactic Dust Reddening and Extinction tool is a service that gives the Galactic dust reddening for a line of sight, returning a reddening map, the corresponding 100 micron intensity, and dust temperature, along with statistics for each. The total Galactic visual extinction is estimated and, in Single Location mode, extinctions at multiple wavelengths are estimated. The older reddening estimates are from Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis (1998), who combined results of IRAS and COBE/DIRBE, while newer ones from Schlafly and Finkbeiner (2011) based on a Sloan Digital Sky Survey analysis are also provided.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
