A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is presented based on the Galactic dust distribution model of Drimmel and Spergel (2001). The extinction A_V to any point within the Galactic disk can be quickly deduced using a set of three-dimensional cartesian grids. Extinctions from the model are compared to empirical extinction measures, including lines-of-sight in and near the Galactic plane using optical and NIR extinction measures; in particular we show how extinction can be derived from NIR color-magnitude diagrams in the Galactic plane to a distance of 8 kiloparsec.

  1. A survey of ultra-compact high-state AM CVn binaries with ZTF and Gaia: New discoveries and observational constraints on Galactic space density

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Three new high-state AM CVn binaries are discovered, giving a local space density of about 1 to 3 per 10^8 cubic parsecs and LISA detection estimates near 36% of the Galactic population.

  2. Improving reddening estimates for RR Lyrae stars in the Gaia bands: a machine learning approach to the PAC(Z) relation

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New SFS-based linear relations predict Gaia intrinsic colors of RRab and RRc RR Lyrae from period, amplitude, and metallicity, yielding reddening and AG estimates that are cross-checked on clusters and dwarf galaxies.

  3. Chemical Abundances of the Bioessential Elements C, O and S, and the Refractory Elements Fe and Ni, in Solar-type Exoplanet-hosting Stars from HARPS North and South

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Observational study of 290 exoplanet-host stars finds higher C, O, S, Fe, Ni abundances in giant-planet hosts than small-planet hosts, with C/O ratios, hot/warm differences, and mass correlations that vary by subpopulation.
