Abstract:

We present the first surface photometries of the Southern Milky Way ( $100^\circ \le l \ge 270^\circ$ ; $-40^\circ \le b \le 40^\circ$ )at 217nm and 280nm. The resolution is $0\hbox{$.\!\!^\circ$}25\times 0\hbox{$.\!\!^\circ$}25$ .They are based on photographs obtained with the shuttle-borne GAUSS-Camera as part of the German Spacelab Mission D-2. These photometries are the extensions of the earth-bound U,B,V,R photometries (Kimeswenger et al. 1993 = Paper VII; Hoffmann et al. 1997 = Paper VIII) to the ultraviolet. The data processing was modified to adapt it to the new data. Both photometries are strongly affected by interstellar extinction especially of local dark clouds. Hence, they provide a comprehensive overview of scattering caused light emission in our Galaxy.

Key words: Galaxy (the): structure -- Galaxy (the): open clusters and associations -- techniques: photometry -- interstellar medium: dust -- interstellar medium: reflection nebulae -- ultraviolet: general

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
