Scientific paper

This paper reports an attempt to derive large scale characteristics of the neighboring galactic absorption layer using the data of the two Basle catalogs of galactic star clusters. Applying a least square procedure to the 101 clusters which lie within 1000 pc of the sun, the 'thickness' of the galactic absorption layer has been found to vary strongly as a function of galactic longitude. The large amount of interstellar matter is strongly correlated with the distribution of the extreme population I galactic star clusters and H II regions.
