Extinction in the Large Magellanic Cloud Bar around NGC 1854, NGC 1856, and NGC 1858

Milone, Antonino P.; Panagia, Nino; De Marchi, Guido

We report on the extinction properties in the fields around the clusters NGC 1854, NGC 1856, and NGC 1858 in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The color-magnitude diagrams of the stars in all these regions show an elongated red giant clump that reveals a variable amount of extinction across these fields, ranging from A _V ≃ 0.2 to…
