The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks IV: Radial Extinction Profiles from Counts of Distant Galaxies seen through Foreground Disks
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Allen +1
Dust extinction can be determined from the number of distant field galaxies seen through a spiral disk. To calibrate this number for the crowding and confusion introduced by the fo…
The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks III: Automating the "Synthetic Field Method"
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Allen +1
The dust extinction in spiral disks can be estimated from the counts of background field galaxies, provided the deleterious effects of confusion introduced by structure in the imag…
Total Opacity of Local Group Galaxies and Large Scale Structure behind the Galactic Bulge
Rosa A. Gonzalez, Benne Holwerda, Laurent Loinard +2
Recently, we have developed and calibrated the Synthetic Field Method to derive total extinction through disk galaxies. The method is based on the number counts and colors of dista…
