II/197         ISM towards IC 348 and Per Ob2 (Cernis, 1993)

ADC_Keywords: Photometry, Vilnius ; Clusters, open ; Extinction ;

Keywords: open clusters and associations: general - dark clouds -
          interstellar extinction - techniques: photometric  -
          photometry: Vilnius

Abstract:
   The relationship between interstellar extinction and distance in
   the direction of dark clouds in the areas around the open cluster
   IC 348 and the association Per OB2 is determined using the results
   of photoelectric photometry of 189 stars in the Vilnius
   photometric system.
