Magellanic Clouds Extinction Maps

An appendix to the paper:
'Empirical calibration of the reddening maps in the Magellanic Clouds'
by Górski et al. (2020)

Reddening maps with different resolutions and corresponding radii of fields are available to download for both Magellanic Clouds.
The E(B-V) is obtained from the (V-I) color measurement of the red clump, with the Cardelli et al. (1989) R_V=3.1 reddening law parametrization.

The following columns in .txt files are as follows:
1 - Right Ascension [deg];
2 - Declination [deg];
3 - E(B-V) [mag];
4 - E(B-V) statistical error (based on the (V-I) color measurement uncertainty) [mag];
5 - sigma RC - width of the red clump (V-I) color [mag];
6 - N_RC - number of red clump stars [stars]

Extinction maps

	LMC	SMC
grid point resolution: 3arcmin; square field	lmc_res3	smc_res3
grid point resolution: 5arcmin; circle field radius: 5arcmin	lmc_res5_radius5	smc_res5_radius5
grid point resolution: 5arcmin; circle field radius: 7arcmin	lmc_res5_radius7	smc_res5_radius7

You may also take a look at histograms depicting statistical error of the reddening determination (σ_E(B-V)) and number of Red Clump stars (N*) in fields for each map:

	LMC σ	SMC σ	LMC N*	SMC N*
grid point resolution: 3arcmin; square field
grid point resolution: 5arcmin; circle field radius: 5arcmin
grid point resolution: 5arcmin; circle field radius: 7arcmin
