DETERMINING INTERSTELLAR REDDENING: A NEW APPROACH USING SPECTROSCOPY AND PHOTOMETRY

DETERMINING INTERSTELLAR REDDENING: A NEW APPROACH USING SPECTROSCOPY AND PHOTOMETRY

The mystery of Canis Major overdensity is addressed. We discuss concurrent methods and their limitations on the determination of interstellar reddening. We establish a new way to determine line of sight interstellear reddening by observing stellar spectral lines and UBV colors. We observe and analyz...
