Abstract

We extract J and Ks magnitudes from the 2MASS Point Source Catalog for approximately 6 million stars with 8<Ks<13 in order to build an A_K_ extinction map within 10 degrees of the Galactic centre. The extinction was determined by fitting the upper giant branch of (Ks, J-Ks) colour-magnitude diagrams to a dereddened upper giant branch mean locus built from previously studied Bulge fields. The extinction values vary from A_K=0.05 in the edges of the map up to A_K=3.2 close to the Galactic centre. The resulting extinction map is given in the file 'extmap.dat'.
