Study of three-dimensional mapping of interstellar extinction in milky way galaxy

Study of three-dimensional mapping of interstellar extinction in milky way galaxy

Physics

It is very difficult to model the three-dimensional distribution of interstellar matter (ISM) in our Galaxy because of the general lack of distance information. One of the few ways to probe the distance of the interstellar gas and dust is through absorption line measurements (in the case of gas) or through extinction (in the case of the dust), but these have been limited to a relatively small number of directions.
