Comparison between various extinction laws against the UKIRT extinction map. Plotted against the KS-band extinction is the ratio of total-to-selective extinction ﹩{A}_{{K}_{S}}/E(H-{K}_{S})﹩. Points are colored by their distance from the Galactic plane (∣b∣). The red square in the top right corner shows the median uncertainty in ﹩{A}_{{K}_{S}}/E(H-{K}_{S})﹩ and ﹩{A}_{{K}_{S}}﹩.
