Using metallicities from the literature, combined with the Revised Bologna Catalogue of photometric data for M31 clusters and cluster candidates (the latter of which is the most comprehensive catalogue of M31 clusters currently available,…

We present empirical relations between the global dust reddening and other physical galaxy properties including the Halpha luminosity, Halpha surface brightness, metallicity and axial ratio for star-forming disc galaxies. The study is based…

We describe a method by which the abundance of metals and the reddening of globular clusters are simultaneously derived. The method is based on the analysis of the shape of the red giant branch and V magnitude of the horizontal branch on…

The dust extinction laws and dust properties in M31 are explored with a sample of reddened O-type and B-type supergiants obtained from the LGGS. The observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each tracer are constructed with…

Dust extinction curves provide one of the main avenues to understanding the detailed nature of dust grains and accounting for the effects of dust on observations of many astrophysical objects. For the first time, spectroscopic ultraviolet…

We have investigated the interstellar reddening law of young open clusters within 3kpc from the Sun using optical, near-IR 2MASS, and Spitzer IRAC data. The total-to-selective extinction ratio Rv of 162 young open clusters (log t{age} <=…

It is well known that the extinction properties along lines of sight to Type Ia supernovae are described by steep extinction curves with unusually low total-to-selective extinction ratios of Rv = 1.0-2.0. In order to reveal the properties…

We examine the dust distribution around a sample of 70,000 low redshift galaxy groups and clusters derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. By correlating spectroscopically identified background quasars with the galaxy groups we obtain…

We characterise the relation between the gas and dust content of the interstellar medium towards young stellar objects in the Orion Nebula Cluster. X-ray observations provide estimates of the absorbing equivalent hydrogen column density N_H…

The dust extinction curve is a critical component of many observational programs and an important diagnostic of the physics of the interstellar medium. Here we present new measurements of the dust extinction curve and its variation towards…

A sample of local galaxies for which far infrared and uv fluxes are available is used to estimate the characteristic dust extinction in galaxies and to test whether standard dust properties are plausible. Assuming galaxies can be…

We present a (V-R)-based reddening map of about 43 square degrees of the Galactic bulge/bar. The map is constructed using template image photometry from the MACHO microlensing survey, contains 9717 resolution elements, and is based on…

We present CCD photometry in UBVRI of several thousand Galactic field stars in four large (>1 degree^2) regions centered on diffuse interstellar dust clouds, commonly referred to as ``cirrus'' clouds (with optical depth A_V less than…

To elucidate the dust properties in the SMC we have for the first time measured linear polarization in five colors in the optical region of the spectrum for a sample of reddened stars. For two of these stars, for which there were no…

We combine near-infrared (2MASS) and mid-infrared (Spitzer-IRAC) photometry to characterize the IR extinction law (1.2-8 microns) over nearly 150 degrees of contiguous Milky Way midplane longitude. The relative extinctions in 5 passbands…

Photometric redshifts are studied with a template approach using data from HDF-N and -S . The problem of aliasing in photometric redshift estimates is investigated in some detail and found not to be a significant problem if at least four…

We present measurements of reddening due to dust using the colors of stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure the color of main sequence turn-off stars by finding the "blue tip" of the stellar locus: the prominent blue edge…

In this paper, we present the results of a detailed photometric analysis of Glimpse-C02, one of the most extincted globular clusters of the Milky Way. We built a deep color magnitude diagram spanning $\approx$ 10 magnitudes, enabling the…

Context. The properties of dust grains, in particular their size distribution, are expected to differ from the interstellar medium to the high-density regions within molecular clouds. Since the extinction at near-infrared wavelengths is…

The M31 globular cluster candidate 037-B327 has long been known to be an extremely red, non-stellar object. The first published spectrum of this object is used to confirm that it is a globular cluster belonging to M31, with rather typical…
