Figure 5:

Left: extinction map of the RMC, derived from stellar reddening of background stars in JHK, using the 2MASS database, and a pixel size of $1.3\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ (Bontemps, priv. comm.; Schneider, et al. 2010). Contour levels increase from $A_{\rm V}=2^{\rm m}$ to $14^{\rm m}$ in steps of $2^{\rm m}$ . Right: molecular hydrogen column density [cm^-2] in logarithmic scaling determined from the same greybody fit that was used for the temperature. The regions referred to in Table 1 are indicated.

Upper row: dust temperature, and column density plots of each region, respectively. Lower row: overlay 70 $\mu$ m and 350 $\mu$ m, and three-color image (70, 160, 250 $\mu$ m) of each region, respectively.
