Abstract

We present three dimensional maps in monochromatic extinction $A_0$ and the extinction parameter $R_0$ within a few degrees of the Galactic plane. These are inferred using photometry from the Pan-STARRS1 and Spitzer Glimpse surveys of nearly $20$ million stars located in the region $l = 0-250^\circ$ and from $b = -4.5^\circ$ to $b=4.5^\circ$. Given the available stellar number density, we use an angular resolution of $7' 7'$ and steps of $1mag$ in distance modulus. We simultaneously estimate distance modulus and effective temperature $T_eff$ alongside the other parameters for stars individually using the method of Hanson2014 before combining these estimates to a complete map. The full maps are available via the MNRAS website.
