Description

This file contains an updated version of the combined Milky-Way extinction map from Bovy, Rix, Green et al. (2015) (see the Appendix) in HDF5 format. The component of the original dust map coming from Pan-STARRS data was updated to the Pan-STARRS dust map from Green et al. (2019). The format is similar to that described here: http://argonaut.skymaps.info/usage, except that no samples are included (so only the /best_fit attribute and other supporting ones are included).
