Comparison of the EBV derived in this work and the EBV from the 3D map of Green et al. (2019). We only consider stars with reliable Gaia parallax measurements (﹩\varpi /{\sigma }_{\varpi }\gt 5﹩). For stars without emission lines, the mean and dispersion of the EBV difference are 0.04 mag and 0.09 mag, respectively, whereas for stars with emission lines in the spectra we find a shifted mean of 0.11 mag and a standard deviation of 0.13 mag. The larger EBV for stars with emission lines indicates that these stars are more extincted by the associated H II regions or by their surrounding gas and dust.
