Fig. 4.
Predicted stellar surface density based on the Besançon stellar distribution model (Robin et al. 2003). The blue area indicates the uncertainty arising from the scatter in the diffuse extinction measurements. The horizontal line represents the measured foreground star surface density and the vertical lines the resulting estimates of the distance and its uncertainty.
