Description
The slope of the interstellar reddening line in the J-H vs. H-Ks diagram of the 2MASS survey in the direction of the North America and Pelican nebulae, the L 935 dust cloud and the Cyg OB2 association is determined. The MK types were either classified by C.J. Corbally or collected from the literature. The ratio E(J-H)/E(H-Ks)=2.0 is obtained by taking the average for the four groups of spectral classes: O3-B1, B2-B6, B7-B9.5 and red clump giants. The obtained ratio is among the largest values of E(J-H)/E(H-Ks) determined till now.
