Extinction in the Galaxy from surface brightnesses of ESO-LV galaxies: testing 'standard' extinction maps
Jacek Choloniewski, Edwin A. Valentijn
The relative extinction in the Galaxy computed with our new method (Choloniewski and Valentijn 2003, CV) is compared with three patterns: Schlegel, Finkbeiner and Davis (1998, SFD)…

Extinction in the Galaxy from surface brightnesses of ESO-LV galaxies: determination of A_R/A_B ratio
Jacek Choloniewski, Edwin. A. Valentijn
A new method for the determination of the extinction in our Galaxy is proposed. The method uses surface brightnesses of external galaxies in the B and R bands. The observational da…

The extinction by dust in the outer parts of spiral galaxies
R. F. Peletier, E. A. Valentijn, A. F. M. Moorwood +3
To investigate the distribution of dust in Sb and Sc galaxies we have analyzed near-infrared and optical surface photometry for an unbiased sample of 37 galaxies. Since light in th…
