Scientific paper

We present new maps of the distribution of both dust and stars across
the Galactic disk, based largely on an improved analysis of 2MASS and
Spitzer-IRAC data. The infrared extinction law is rederived throughout
the disk and we found strong longitudinal variations in both diffuse and
dense environments that we incorporate in our analysis.
