\begin{table}%t3 \par %\centering \par \caption{Eleven stars towards 3C~434.1 with observed reddenings that are consistent with that observed toward the SNR/SWB ($E(B-V)=2.1$~mag), i.e. $1.7~{\rm mag} \leq E(B-V) \leq 2.5$~mag. The uncertainty in the assigned spectral type is on average plus or minus one sub-type (e.g. an O5 is O4-O6 within uncertainty). Distances are calculated using reddening law $R_{V}=A_{V}/E(B-V)=3.1$. All distances have an uncertainty of $\pm $30\%\label{stars}.} \begin{tabular}{cccccccc} \hline\hline Star& $B-V$& $U-B$& $m_{V}$& Assigned& $M_{V}$& $d$ (kpc) & $E(B-V)$\\ & ($\pm $13\%)& ($\pm $20\%)& ($\pm $0.07 mag)& MK Type& ($\pm $0.3 mag)& ($\pm $30\%)& ($\pm $0.23 mag)\\ \hline 1& 1.45& 0.06& 14.95& B0 & $-$4& 5.1& 1.74\\ 2& 1.75& 0.11& 13.55& O5& $-$5.7& 3.7& 2.08\\ 3& 1.72& 0.44& 13.92& B2& $-$2.47& 1.2& 1.95\\ 4& 1.46& 0.02& 15.05& B0& $-$4& 5.2& 1.77\\ 5& 1.62& 0.40& 14.10& B2& $-$2.47& 1.0& 1.84\\ 6& 1.66& 0.21& 14.04& B0& $-$3.9& 2.4& 1.95\\ 7& 1.86& $-$0.01& 14.33& O4& $-$6.0& 4.9& 2.22\\ 8& 1.61& 0.22& 14.33& B1& $-$3.7& 2.7& 1.89\\ 9& 1.56& 0.31& 13.78& B2& $-$2.47& 1.4& 1.80\\ 10& 1.36& 0.00& 14.57& B0& $-$4& 4.8& 1.66\\ 11& 1.40& 0.14& 14.70& B1& $-$3.2& 3.5& 1.66\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table}
