As a result, when computing cosmic distances it can be advantageous to move to star data from the near-infared (of which the filter or passband Ks is quite standard) where the variations and amount of extinction are significantly less, and similar ratios as to R(Ks): 0.49±0.02 and 0.528±0.015 were found respectively by independent groups.
Dadosnyné, rikala ngitung jarak kosmik, pacang prasida nguntungang anggén ngisidang data bintang saking inframerah-nampek (sané filter utawi pita sandi Ks nampek standar) rikala variasi miwah jumlah kepunahan sané signifikan ngirangang, miwah rasio kadi punika ring R(Ks): 0,49±0,02 miwah0,528±0,015 kapanggihin soang-soang olih kelompok independen.
