The local spiral structure of the Milky Way
Ye Xu, Mark Reid, Thomas Dame +7
The nature of the spiral structure of the Milky Way has long been debated. Only in the last decade have astronomers been able to accurately measure distances to a substantial numbe…
On the Rotation Speed of the Milky Way Determined from HI Emission
M. J. Reid, T. M. Dame
The circular rotation speed of the Milky Way at the solar radius, Theta_o, has been estimated to be 220 km/s by fitting the maximum velocity of HI emission as a function of Galacti…
A Parallax-based Distance Estimator for Spiral Arm Sources
M. J. Reid, T. M. Dame, K. M. Menten +1
The spiral arms of the Milky Way are being accurately located for the first time via trigonometric parallaxes of massive star forming regions with the BeSSeL Survey, using the Very…
A Uniform Catalog of Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way
Thomas S. Rice, Alyssa A. Goodman, Edwin A. Bergin +2
The all-Galaxy CO survey of Dame, Hartmann, & Thaddeus (2001) is by far the most uniform, large-scale Galactic CO survey. Using a dendrogram-based decomposition of this survey, we…
