Notes.
From Cotton et al. (1999).
Averaged over the whole FoV from the reddening maps by Schlegel et al. (1998), as re-calibrated by Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011).
From McConnachie (2012).
Average of μV for rϵ ≤ 0.5′. Not corrected for extinction. The μV(0) values extrapolated from fits with not fully adequate models (e.g. exponential models) can differ significantly from this observed value.
From the best-fit model for the entire profile (continuous line in Fig. 7).
