Abstract

The dependence of interstellar extinction on distance in the direction of a dark cloud around the reflection nebula NGC 1333 is determined on the basis of photoelectric Vilnius photometry and photometric classification of 78 stars. Two dust clouds are noted at distances 160 and 220 pc. The first one with mean extinction of 0.4 mag is concluded to belong to the Taurus cloud complex and the second cloud with mean extinction of 1.8 mag belongs to the chain of dark clouds and other young objects which is almost perpendicular to the spiral arm but lies ∼80 pc below the galactic plane. The star BD +30°549 which illuminates the NGC 1333 nebula is at distance 212 pc from the Sun. No extinction increase behind the Perseus cloud is detected.
