Abstrakt

PNICER estimates extinction for individual sources and creates

extinction maps using unsupervised machine learning algorithms.

Extinction towards single sources is determined by fitting Gaussian

Mixture Models along the extinction vector to (extinction-free) control

field observations. PNICER also offers access to the well-established

NICER technique in a simple unified interface and is capable of building

extinction maps including the NICEST correction for cloud substructure.
