Scientific paper

Dust absorption influences our perception of spiral galaxies. To characterize the absorption by cold dust, Gonzalez et al (1998) compared numbers of background field galaxies in HST/WFPc2 images and simulated fields; the original data with an extincted HDF field added. We have automated this "Synthetic Field Method" and applied it on a sample of face-on images from the HST archive. Based on our numbers of field galaxies, we present an average radial extinction profile for spiral disks.
