The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks VI: Extinction, stellar light and color
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. González, P. C. van der Kruit +1
In this paper we explore the relation between dust extinction and stellar light distribution in disks of spiral galaxies. Extinction influences our dynamical and photometric percep…
The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks: dust opacity from calibrated counts of distant galaxies
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Allen +1
The opacity of foreground spiral disks can be probed from the number of distant galaxies seen through them. To calibrate this number for effects other than the dust extinction, Gon…
The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks VII: the accuracy of galaxy counts as an extinction probe
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Allen +1
The ``Synthetic Field Method'' (SFM) was introduced by Gonzalez et al. (1998) to calibrate numbers of distant galaxies as a probe of extinction in a foreground spiral disk. Gonzale…
