cds-question@unistra.frinterstellar-mediumextinctionExtinction remains one of the most reliable methods of measuring column density of nearby Galactic interstellar clouds. The current and ongoing near-infrared surveys enable the mapping of extinction over large sky areas. We produce allsky extinction maps using the 2MASS near-infrared survey. We use the NICER and NICEST methods to convert the near-infrared colour excesses to extinction estimates. The results are presented in Healpix format at the resolutions of 3.0, 4.5, and 12.0-arcmin.2016A&A...585A..38Jhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/585/A38CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/585/A38https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/585/A38http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/585/A38https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/585/A38https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/585/A38http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/585/A38GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/A+A/585/A38/listList of fits filesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
