Physics

Geneva Photometry, Interstellar Clouds

Scientific paper

In this sixth part of the article, we apply the ability of our photometry to determine the distance and reddening of B-type stars. These young and massive stars are still partially associated with the interstellar clouds that formed them, and their high intrinsic luminosity facilitates their observation out to great distances. Various techniques can be applied to the description of the dust distribution in the solar vicinity via the mapping of interstellar reddening. One of the more recent methods uses techniques akin to tomography as practised in the medical sciences and by geophysicists. It is used here to map the local interstellar dust clouds up to a distance of about 2 kiloparsecs.
