Scientific paper

Walraven photometric observations of 41 Galactic foreground stars in the direction of SN 1987 A were used to investigate the interstellar reddening originating to material inside the Galaxy. Two different methods, one using the galactic reddenings around SN 1987 A from the distribution at the sky, and one presenting the reddenings as a function of the distance, both yield for the galactic reddening of SN 1987 A E(B-V) = 0.08 m + or - 0.01 m, which is larger than the usually assumed values. From the relation between the distances of the stars and their reddening the thickness of the dust layer in the direction of SN 1987 A is estimated at 110 pc.
