Notes. For each nonsaturated star in our sample of distance indicator Miras (whose IDs are shown in Col. (1)), extinction values are given according to the BEAM and Surot maps (Cols. (2) and (3), respectively). Columns (4) through (9) show the extinction values obtained using the stars’ individual (J − K_s) colors, according to the indicated extinction laws (see Table 4). Similarly, cols. (10) through (14) indicate extinction values obtained on the basis of the same extinction laws, except for S20 which is not available in the H band. We note that, as explained in the text, the extinction values derived on the basis of the BEAM and Surot reddening maps should be considered as lower limits only, in the case of stars located beyond the Galactic bulge.
