SUMMARY:Eddie Schlafly (LBNL) - Mapping the Galaxy's Dust in 3D
DESCRIPTION:The Milky Way’s dust is of basic importance in astronomy. It\nis both crucial to the formation of stars and is a pervasive\nobservational nuisance.  Despite the dust’s importance\, existing dust\nmaps are largely limited to two dimensions\, with the distance to the\ndust unknown.  The advent of large surveys like Pan-STARRS1 has\nallowed us to map dust in three dimensions in unprecedented detail. In\nthis talk\, I will describe how we use observations of stars in the\nMilky Way to map dust\, and I will discuss three major results: a\ncatalog of distances to major molecular clouds\, the discovery of a 100\npc ring of dust in Orion\, and the 3D dust map itself.  Upcoming\nsurveys promise continued scientific returns: Gaia\, DECam\, and LSST\nwill provide more precise and deeper data than ever before\, enabling\nunique maps of the Galaxy’s spiral structure and the study of the\ndust’s properties in 3D.
