Journal ArticleDOI
Maps of Dust Infrared Emission for Use in Estimation of Reddening and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Foregrounds
TL;DR: In this article, a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE and IRAS/ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and confirmed point sources removed, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correcting for the Effects of Interstellar Extinction
TL;DR: In this article, the main general features of extinction from the IR through the UV are reviewed, along with the nature of observed spatial variations, and several strategies for dereddening are discussed along with estimates of the uncertainties inherent in each method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interstellar dust grains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the observed properties of interstellar dust grains: the wavelength-dependent extinction of starlight, including absorption features, from UV to infrared; optical luminescence; and optical luminance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical underpinning, techniques, and results of efforts to estimate the CO-to-H2 conversion factor in different environments, and recommend a conversion factor XCO = 2×10 20 cm −2 (K km s −1 ) −1 with ±30% uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Method of Correcting Near‐Infrared Spectra for Telluric Absorption*
TL;DR: In this article, a method for correcting near-infrared medium-resolution spectra for telluric absorption is presented, which makes use of a spectrum of an A0 V star, observed near in time and close in air mass to the target object, and a high-resolution model of Vega.
