NIR and optical extinction vs. thermal dust emission for four molecular clouds and for the high-latitude diffuse medium.

Object Extinction γ γ Ref.
range (AV) 104
Orion A ≲5 2.20 1
Orion B ≲6 3.09 1
Perseus ≲6 3.51 2
Draco nebula ≲1.5
w. “diffuse dust”* 4.62 0.072 3
w. “molecular dust”** 3.30 0.052 4
LDN 1780 ≲4 0.039 5

Notes. The relationship is expressed as AV = γ × τ353GHz + δ and as AV = γ′× I(250 μm) + δ′. (*) Using the γ value as derived for diffuse dust by Planck Collaboration XI (2014) from E(BV) = 1.49 × 104 τ353GHz and AVE(BV) = 3.1. (**) Using the mean of the γ values of Orion B and Perseus.
