EXTINCTION MAPS TOWARD THE MILKY WAY BULGE: TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL TESTS WITH APOGEE
EXTINCTION MAPS TOWARD THE MILKY WAY BULGE: TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL TESTS WITH APOGEE
Galactic interstellar extinction maps are powerful and necessary tools for Milky Way structure and stellar population analyses, particularly toward the heavily reddened bulge and in the midplane. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining reliable extinction measures and distances for a large number of stars that are independent of these …
