cds-question@unistra.frmolecular-cloudsastronomical-object-identificationextinctionultraviolet-astronomyradio-sourcesvisible-astronomyinterstellar-mediumWe present a catalog of dust clouds at high Galactic latitude based on the Planck 857GHz dust emission data. Using a clustering hierarchical algorithm, 315 dust clouds at high Galactic latitudes are identified. Additionally, using the optical and ultraviolet extinction of 4million and 1 million stars, respectively, provided by Sun+ 2021ApJS..254...38S, we derive the distances and physical properties for 190 high Galactic latitude dust clouds and the ultraviolet excess ratios for 165 of them. Through the study of color excess ratios, this work confirms that molecular clouds with large Galactic distances and low extinction likely have a higher proportion of small-sized dust grains. In addition, clouds with well-defined distances in the catalog are used to trace the Local Bubble, showing good consistency with the boundary of the Local Bubble from the literature.2024AJ....168..203Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/168/203CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)I/355 : Gaia DR3 Part 1.
