Extinction in ultraviolet is much more significant than in optical or infrared, which can be very informative to precisely measure the extinction and understand the dust properties in the low extinction areas. The high Galactic latitude sky is such an area, important for studying the extragalactic sky and the universe. Based on the stellar parameters measured by the LAMOST and GALAH spectroscopy and the ultraviolet photomery by the emph{GALEX} space telescope, the extinction of 1,244,504 stars in the emph{GALEX}/NUV band and 56,123 stars in the emph{GALEX}/FUV band are calculated precisely. textbf{The error of color excess is 0.009, 0.128 and 0.454 mag for $E_{rm G_{BP}, G_{RP}}$, $E_{rm NUV,G_{BP}}$ and $E_{rm FUV,G_{BP}}$ respectively.} They delineates the emph{GALEX}/NUV extinction map of about a third of the sky mainly at the high Galactic latitude area with an angular resolution of $sim 0.4,, rm deg$. The mean color excess ratio in the entire sky areas is derived to be 3.25, 2.95 and -0.37 for $E_{{rm NUV,G_{BP}}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$, $E_{{rm FUV,G_{BP}}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$ and $E_{{rm FUV,NUV}} / E_{{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}}$ respectively, which is in general agreement with the previous works, and their changes with the Galactic latitude and the interstellar extinction are discussed.

Based on the accurate color excess $E_{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}$ of more than 4 million stars and $E_{rm NUV,G_{BP}}$ of more than 1 million stars from citet{2021ApJS..254...38S}, the distance and the extinction of the molecular clouds in the MBM catalog at $|b|>20^{circ}$ are studied in combination with the distance measurement of emph{Gaia}/EDR3. The distance as well as the color excess is determined for 66 molecular clouds. The color excess ratio $E_{rm G_{BP},G_{RP}}/E_{rm NUV,G_{BP}}$ is derived for 39 of them, which is obviously larger and implies more small particles at smaller extinction. In addition, the scale height of the dust disk is found to be about 100 pc and becomes large at the anticenter direction due to the disk flaring.
Careful analyses of photometric and star count data available for the nine putative young clusters identified by Camargo et al. (2015, 2016) at high Galactic latitudes reveal that none of the groups contain early-type stars, and most are not signific ant density enhancements above field level. 2MASS colours for stars in the groups match those of unreddened late-type dwarfs and giants, as expected for contamination by (mostly) thin disk objects. A simulation of one such field using only typical high latitude foreground stars yields a colour-magnitude diagram that is very similar to those constructed by Camargo et al. (2015, 2016) as evidence for their young groups as well as the means of deriving their reddenings and distances. Although some of the fields are coincident with clusters of galaxies, one must conclude that there is no evidence that the putative clusters are extremely young stellar groups.

Gas at high Galactic latitude is a relatively little-noticed component of the interstellar medium. In an effort to address this, forty-one Planck Galactic Cold Clumps at high Galactic latitude (HGal; $|b|>25^{circ}$) were observed in $^{12}$CO, $^{13 }$CO and C$^{18}$O J=1-0 lines, using the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7-m telescope. $^{12}$CO (1-0) and $^{13}$CO (1-0) emission was detected in all clumps while C$^{18}$O (1-0) emission was only seen in sixteen clumps. The highest and average latitudes are $71.4^{circ}$ and $37.8^{circ}$, respectively. Fifty-one velocity components were obtained and then each was identified as a single clump. Thirty-three clumps were further mapped at 1$^prime$ resolution and 54 dense cores were extracted. Among dense cores, the average excitation temperature $T_{mathrm{ex}}$ of $^{12}$CO is 10.3 K. The average line widths of thermal and non-thermal velocity dispersions are $0.19$ km s$^{-1}$ and $0.46$ km s$^{-1}$ respectively, suggesting that these cores are dominated by turbulence. Distances of the HGal clumps given by Gaia dust reddening are about $120-360$ pc. The ratio of $X_{13}$/$X_{18}$ is significantly higher than that in the solar neighbourhood, implying that HGal gas has a different star formation history compared to the gas in the Galactic disk. HGal cores with sizes from $0.01-0.1$ pc show no notable Larsons relation and the turbulence remains supersonic down to a scale of slightly below $0.1$ pc. None of the HGal cores which bear masses from 0.01-1 $M_{odot}$ are gravitationally bound and all appear to be confined by outer pressure.
[ABRIDGED] Context. O stars are excellent tracers of the intervening ISM because of their high luminosity, blue intrinsic SED, and relatively featureless spectra. We are currently conducting GOSSS, which is generating a large sample of O stars with a ccurate spectral types within several kpc of the Sun. Aims. To obtain a global picture of the properties of dust extinction in the solar neighborhood based on optical-NIR photometry of O stars with accurate spectral types. Methods. We have processed a photometric set with the CHORIZOS code to measure the amount and type of extinction towards 562 O-type stellar systems. We have tested three different families of extinction laws and analyzed our results with the help of additional archival data. Results. The Maiz Apellaniz et al. (2014) family of extinction laws provides a better description of Galactic dust that either the Cardelli et al. (1989) or Fitzpatrick (1999) families, so it should be preferentially used. In many cases O stars and late-type stars experience similar amounts of extinction at similar distances but some O stars are located close to the molecular clouds left over from their births and have larger extinctions than the average for nearby late-type populations. In qualitative terms, O stars experience a more diverse extinction than late-type stars, as some are affected by the small-grain-size, low-R_5495 effect of molecular clouds and others by the large-grain-size, high-R_5495 effect of H II regions. Late-type stars experience a narrower range of grain sizes or R_5495, as their extinction is predominantly caused by the average, diffuse ISM. We propose that the reason for the existence of large-grain-size, high-R_5495 regions in the ISM in the form of H II regions and hot-gas bubbles is the selective destruction of small dust grains by EUV photons and possibly by thermal sputtering by atoms or ions.
We have found a class of circular radio objects in the Evolutionary Map of the Universe Pilot Survey, using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope. The objects appear in radio images as circular edge-brightened discs, about one ar cmin diameter, that are unlike other objects previously reported in the literature. We explore several possible mechanisms that might cause these objects, but none seems to be a compelling explanation.
