The distance, as well as the color excess, is determined for 66 MCs. The color excess ratio E_NUV,GBP_/E_GBP,GRP_ is derived for 39 of them, which is obviously larger and implies more small particles at smaller extinction. In addition, the scale height of the dust disk is found to be about 100 pc and becomes large at the anticenter direction due to the disk flaring.</description><source format="bibcode">2021ApJS..256...46S</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/256/46</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/345">I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/7">VII/7 : Lynds' Catalogue of Dark Nebulae (LDN) (Lynds 1962)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+AS/103/541">J/A+AS/103/541 : Arcetri Catalogue of H2O Maser Sources (Brand+ 1994)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/327/325">J/A+A/327/325 : Distances of molecular cloud (May+, 1997)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/383/631">J/A+A/383/631 : Catalogue of dust clouds in the Galaxy (Dutra+, 2002)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/623/897">J/ApJ/623/897 : Reddening and extinction at high gal. latitude (Larson+, 2005)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/57/917">J/PASJ/57/917 : CO clouds in southern Galactic Warp (Nakagawa+, 2005)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/706/727">J/ApJ/706/727 : Distance and mass of Infrared Dark Clouds (Marshall+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/699/1153">J/ApJ/699/1153 : Kinematic distances to GRS clouds (Roman-Duval+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/63/S1">J/PASJ/63/S1 : Atlas and cat. of dark clouds based on 2MASS (Dobashi+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/212/2">J/ApJS/212/2 : Giant clouds in the 4th Galactic quadrant (Garcia+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/786/29">J/ApJ/786/29 : Catalog of distances to molecular clouds (Schlafly+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/834/57">J/ApJ/834/57 : MW molecular clouds from ^12^CO (Miville-Deschenes+, 2017)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/861/153">J/ApJ/861/153 : Ultraviolet Extinction in the GALEX Bands.
