CSFD: The Corrected SFD Milky Way Dust Map
<p>This package contains the full-sky CSFD Galactic dust reddening E(B−V) map and associated data products described in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.03926">Chiang 2023 (arXiv:2306.03926)</a>.</p> <p>This dust map improves upon the widely used <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998ApJ...500..525S/abstract">Schlegel, Finkbeiner, & Davis (1998, SFD)</a> map by removing a tomographically reconstructed cosmic infrared background (CIB) component that contaminates the original SFD. This new dust map enables more accurate Galactic extinction corrections for extragalactic photometry. More information can be found on the <a href="https://idv.sinica.edu.tw/ykchiang/CSFD.html">project website</a>.</p>
