Dust extinction in highly inclined spirals.
We recently studied a small number of highly inclined spiral galaxies, and used their special geometry to determine absolute extinction values of the dust in their dust lanes. We apply a simple model of a uniform mixture of stars and dust to the data, and find that the extinction values in these galaxies are the same as those making up the Galactic
