Three-dimensional extinction mapping using Gaussian random fields
We present a scheme for using stellar catalogues to map the three-dimensional distributions of extinction and dust within our Galaxy. Extinction is modelled as a Gaussian random field, whose covariance function is set by a simple physical model of the interstellar medium that assumes a Kolmogorov-li...
