<p>I think you are talking about <strong>Plaut's window</strong>, which is located at <code>l=0°</code> and <code>b=-8°</code>. It has a reddening of <code>E(B-V)=0.25</code> magnitudes. </p>

<p>HTH,</p>

You said with low amount of dust, which means low extinction for me...

<p>There is a region called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baade%27s_Window" rel="nofollow">Baade's window</a>.</p>

<p>I remember there is a similar region called "somebody's window", which also has a low amount of dust.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the name?</p>

# The name of a particular low extinction region

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-12-08)

There is a region called [Baade's window](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baade%27s_Window).

I remember there is a similar region called "somebody's window", which also has a low amount of dust.

Does anyone know the name?

The Lockman hole?

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockman_Hole>

It has a column density of neutral hydrogen of $6\times10^{19}$ cm$^{-2}$, which will correspond to very little dust.

Two others I've heard of towards the Galactic bulge are known as the Sgr I and Sgr II windows.

Finally, I offer "Stanek's window" towards the bulge, which has been referred to in a number of the Chandra Galactic plane X-ray surveys but appears to have no refereed publication associated with its discovery. I found this on arXiv. <http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9802307> It is at $l=0.25$, $b=-2.15$ and has $E(B-V) \sim 0.6$.

I think you are talking about **Plaut's window**, which is located at `l=0°` and `b=-8°`. It has a reddening of `E(B-V)=0.25` magnitudes.

HTH,

Germán.
