Dust Reddening from PANSTARRS-1
Under construction.
This is the map of the dust reddening at 4.5 kpc derived from Pan-STARRS1 stellar photometry by Schlafly et al (2014). The map is based on the estimated distances and reddenings to more than 500 million stars. The map covers almost the entire sky north of declination -30 degrees at a resolution of 7 to 14 arcminutes.
The Pan-STARRS1 reddening values are transformed to E(B-V)_SFD via Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011). The resulting map is expected to have the same overestimation of E(B-V) by 14% that the Schlegel, Finkbeiner, and Davis (1998) map has, and should be transformed for use in other bands with the same coefficients given in Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011).
