Interstellar Reddening at High Galactic Latitudes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Measures in the Strömgren four-color and Hβ systems provide an accurate way to determine color excesses of early-type stars. Fourteen areas at high galactic latitude have now been searched for faint A stars which are then measured photoelectrically to obtain the color excesses. Non-main sequence A stars, which are easily detected by means of the four-color photometry, are not included in the analysis. Within 40° of each pole, the reddening is essentially zero, Eb–y = 0.00 north of the galactic plane and Eb–y = 0.01 south of the plane.
