"We present a parametric Bayesian method to simultaneously infer interstellar extinction, stellar effective temperature and distance modulus to stars. We create three dimensional maps of extinction towards the Galactic poles using multiband photometry from Sloan Digital Sky Survey and UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey, and maps in the Galactic plane using data from Pan-STARRS1 and Spitzer GLIMPSE surveys.\r\nUsing optical and near-infrared photometry we train a forward model to emulate the colour change due to properties of stars and the interstellar medium. We predict the probability density function of astrophysical parameters for millions of stars individually and then construct weighted distance profiles in extinction A0 and extinction parameter R0.\r\nFurthermore we present a non-parametric model to self-consistently predict the three-dimensional dust density in the Milky Way using a Gaussian process. Using individual extinction and distance measurements to stars and basic assumptions about the spatial correlation of the dust density we infer the most probable density at any point, even if no observations are present along that line of sight. We demonstrate the method’s ability to reliably reconstruct known dust structures with mock data."^^ . "2017" . . . . . . . "Richard James"^^ . "Hanson"^^ . "Richard James Hanson"^^ . . . . . .
