    • A Large Catalog of Accurate Distances to Molecular Clouds From PS1 Photometry 

      Schlafly, E. F.; Green, G; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Rix, H.-W.; Bell, E. F.; Burgett, W. S.; Chambers, K; Draper, P. W.; Hodapp, K. W.; Kaiser, N.; Magnier, E. A.; Martin, N. F.; Metcalfe, N.; Price, P. A.; Tonry, J. L. (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      Distance measurements to molecular clouds are important but are often made separately for each cloud of interest, employing very different data and techniques. We present a large, homogeneous catalog of distances to molecular ...
    • A map of dust reddening to 4.5 Kpc from Pan-STARRS1 

      Schlafly, E. F.; Green, Gregory Maurice; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Jurić, M.; Rix, H.-W.; Martin, N. F.; Burgett, W. S.; Chambers, K; Draper, P. W.; Hodapp, K. W.; Kaiser, N.; Kudritzki, R.-P.; Magnier, E. A.; Metcalfe, N.; Morgan, J. S.; Price, Mary C.; Stubbs, Christopher William; Tonry, J. L.; Wainscoat, R. J.; Waters, Christopher (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      We present a map of the dust reddening to 4.5 kpc derived from Pan-STARRS1 stellar photometry. The map covers almost the entire sky north of declination −30◦ at a resolution of 7′–14′, and is based on the estimated distances ...
    • Mapping Milky Way Dust in 3D With Stellar Photometry 

      Green, Gregory Maurice (2016-05-18)
      I present a three-dimensional map of interstellar dust reddening, covering three-quarters of the sky out to a distance of several kiloparsecs, based on Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS photometry. The map reveals a wealth of detailed ...
    • Measuring Distances and Reddenings for a Billion Stars: Toward a 3d Dust Map From Pan-Starrs 1 

      Green, Gregory Maurice; Schlafly, Edward F.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Jurić, Mario; Rix, Hans-Walter; Burgett, Will; Chambers, Kenneth C.; Draper, Peter W.; Flewelling, Heather; Kudritzki, Rolf Peter; Magnier, Eugene; Martin, Nicolas; Metcalfe, Nigel; Tonry, John; Wainscoat, Richard; Waters, Christopher (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      We present a method to infer reddenings and distances to stars based only on their broad-band photometry, and show how this method can be used to produce a three-dimensional (3D) dust map of the Galaxy. Our method samples ...
