▪ Abstract Standard star photometry dominated the latter half of the twentieth century
reaching its zenith in the 1980s. It was introduced to take advantage of the high sensitivity …

Aims. The Two Micron All Sky Survey, along with the Stellar Population Synthesis Model of
the Galaxy, developed in Besançon, is used to calculate the extinction distribution along …

A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is presented based on the
Galactic dust distribution model of [CITE]. The extinction AV to any point within the Galactic …

We present a detailed study of the viewing angles of the LMC disk plane. We find that our
viewing direction differs considerably from the commonly accepted values, which has …

We present an independent estimate of the interstellar extinction law for the Spitzer IRAC
bands, as well as a first attempt at extending the law to the 24 μm MIPS band. The source …

Aims. We seek to constrain the formation of the Galactic bulge by analysing the detailed
chemical composition of a large sample of red clump stars in Baade's window. These stars …

Many technological applications depend on the response of materials to electric fields, but
available databases of such responses are limited. Here, we explore the infrared …

Published data for large-amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables in the Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are re-analysed to establish the constants for an infrared (K) period …

We have determined the ratios of total to selective extinction in the near-infrared bands (J, H,
K s) toward the Galactic center from the observations of the region∣ l∣≲ 2 fdg 0 and 0 fdg …

We investigate the infrared (IR) properties of cool, evolved stars in the Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC), including the red giant branch (RGB) stars and the dust-producing red …
