The A_V vs. d plot for all the stars classified as dwarfs from the fields F1 and F2 combined together towards L1014. The dashed vertical lines are drawn at 221 pc and 258 pc inferred from the procedure described in Sect. 2 (see Fig. 3). The dash-dotted curve represents the increase in extinction towards the Galactic latitude b =  −0.251° as a function of distance based on the expressions given by BS80. The error bars are shown for only a few stars to ensure more clarity in the presentation of the points.
