A new, large-scale map of interstellar reddening derived from H I emission.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present a new map of interstellar reddening, covering the 39% of the sky with low H I column densities (NHI 4×1020  cm–2 or E(B-V)~45 mmag) at 16 ′ / . 1 resolution, based on all-sky observations of Galactic H I emission by the HI4PI Survey. In this low-column-density regime, we derive a characteristic value of NHI/E(B-V)=8.8 × 1021 cm2 mag–1 for gas with | vLSR| 90 km s–1 and find no significant reddening associated with gas at higher velocities. We compare our H i-based reddening map with the Schlegel et al. (SFD) reddening map and find them consistent to within a scatter of ≃5 mmag. Further, the differences between our map and the SFD map are in excellent agreement with the low-resolution (4○ / . 5) corrections to the SFD map derived by Peek and Graves based on observed reddening toward passive galaxies. We therefore argue that our H i-based map provides the most accurate interstellar reddening estimates in the low-column-density regime to date. Our reddening map is made publicly available at doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AFJNWJ.
