Reddenings derived from H I and galaxy counts - Accuracy and maps
Abstract
Burstein and Heiles (1978) have reported the discovery of a new and potentially accurate method for predicting line-of-sight reddening in the galaxy. The present investigation is concerned with an assessment of the accuracy of this method, taking into account a comparison of its reddening predictions to those of two independent and highly accurate methods, including the uvby-beta photometry of early-type stars and the strong absorption line-strength-color relationship for the integrated spectra of elliptical galaxies. On the basis of the results of the investigation, it is concluded that a reasonable estimate of the relative accuracy of the H I/galaxy counts method reported by Burstein and Heiles is 0.01 mag in E(B-V) or 10% of the reddening, whichever is larger.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
