The Ultraviolet Extinction Map and Dust Property at High Galactic Latitude

Abstract

Extinction in ultraviolet is much more significant than in optical or infrared, which can be very informative to precisely measure the extinction and understand the dust properties in the low extinction areas. The high Galactic latitude sky is such an area, important for studying the extragalactic sky and the universe. Based on the stellar parameters measured by the LAMOST and GALAH spectroscopy and the ultraviolet photomery by the \emph{GALEX} space telescope, the extinction of 1,244,504 stars in the \emph{GALEX}/NUV band and 56,123 stars in the \emph{GALEX}/FUV band are calculated precisely. \textbf{The error of color excess is 0.009, 0.128 and 0.454 mag for $E_{{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{RP}}}$, $E_{\mathrm{NUV},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}}}$ and $E_{\mathrm{FUV},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}}}$ respectively.} They delineates the \emph{GALEX}/NUV extinction map of about a third of the sky mainly at the high Galactic latitude area with an angular resolution of $\sim 0.4\mathrm{deg}$. The mean color excess ratio in the entire sky areas is derived to be 3.25, 2.95 and -0.37 for $E_{\mathrm{NUV},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}}}/E_{{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{RP}}}$, $E_{\mathrm{FUV},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}}}/E_{{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{RP}}}$ and $E_{\mathrm{FUV},\mathrm{NUV}}/E_{{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{BP}},{\mathrm{G}}_{\mathrm{RP}}}$ respectively, which is in general agreement with the previous works, and their changes with the Galactic latitude and the interstellar extinction are discussed.
