Benchmarking Differential Reddening in Front of Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Interstellar extinction is a major obstacle in determining accurate stellar parameters from photometry near the Galactic disk. It is especially true for globular clusters at low galactic latitudes, which suffer from significant amounts of spatially ...

Star Classification Possibilities with the Gaia Spectrophotometers. II. A Method for Empirical Decontamination of the BP/RP Spectra

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2010
The contamination in the Gaia BP and RP spectra, caused by the LSF smearing, is a serious obstacle for the classification of stars since the contamination values at different wavelengths depend on temperatures, gravities, metallicities and interstellar ...

Extreme Starlight Polarization Efficiency toward ζ Ophiuchi: A Case for Line-of-sight Foreground Subtraction

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Despite the pervasive nature of interstellar dust and its impact on nearly all observations, most dust corrections employ line-of-sight averages over large angular scales.

A Study of Interstellar Reddening at High Galactic Latitudes [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1973
A series of finding lists of A stars in regions at high galactic latitudes has been published in the last few years. Strömgren four-color and Hβ measures have been made of stars in five of the regions, allowing the interstellar absorption in each to be calculated.

Photoelectric Vilnius Photometry of Stars in the Mega Proper Motion Field KA 10

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Photoelectric seven-color photometry in the Vilnius medium-band, system is obtained for 87 stars down to V≃13.0 in the Kiev proper motion field KA10 [l = 137°, b = -59°]. The size of the field is 1.4 square degrees.

Spectroscopy of hot subdwarf binaries

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2018
We present a status report of our spectroscopic analysis of subdwarf binaries consisting of a subdwarf and a F/G/K-type main-sequence companion. These systems selected from SDSS photometry show significant excess in the (infra-)red which can not be ...

Variations of Interstellar Gas-to-dust Ratios at High Galactic Latitudes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Interstellar dust at high Galactic latitudes can influence astronomical foreground subtraction, produce diffuse scattered light, and soften the UV spectra of quasars.

On the Relation between Interstellar Spectral Features and Reddening

open access: yesActa Astronomica, 2019
It is well known that interstellar spectral features correlate with color excess E(B$-$V). This suggests that measuring intensities of these features allows one to estimate reddening of stars. The aim of this paper is to check how tight intensities of interstellar diffuse bands (DIBs)are related to the amount of extinction, measured using E(B$-$V).

An All-sky 3D Dust Map Based on Gaia and LAMOST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a comprehensive 3D dust-reddening map covering the entire Milky Way, constructed by combining reddening estimates based on Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) low-resolution spectra ( E ( B  −  V ) _LAMOST ) with ...

HIGH PRECISION EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURES OF F-K SUPERGIANTS AND CLASSICAL CEPHEIDS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
We present precise effective temperatures (Teff) of 110 F-K supergiants determined from the method of line depth ratios. For each star, we have measured the line depths a large number of spectral lines of low and high excitation potentials and ...
