  • Abstract
    We present new maps of the distribution of both dust and stars across the Galactic disk, based largely on an improved analysis of 2MASS and Spitzer-IRAC data. The infrared extinction law is rederived throughout the disk and we found strong longitudinal variations in both diffuse and dense environments that we incorporate in our analysis.
