Evolution of the local spiral structure of the Milky Way revealed by open clusters
C. J. Hao, Y. Xu, L. G. Hou +6
The structure and evolution of the spiral arms of our Milky Way are basic but long-standing questions in astronomy. In particular, the lifetime of spiral arms is still a puzzle and…
Trigonometric Parallaxes of Four Star-forming Regions in the Distant Inner Galaxy
Y. Xu, S. B. Bian, M. J. Reid +9
We have measured trigonometric parallaxes for four water masers associated with distant massive young stars in the inner regions of the Galaxy using the VLBA as part of the BeSSeL…
Local spiral structure based on the Gaia EDR3 parallaxes
Y. Xu, L. G. Hou, S. B. Bian +4
Context. The astrometric satellite Gaia is expected to significantly increase our knowledge as to the properties of the Milky Way. The Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) provide…
High-sensitivity millimeter imaging of molecular outflows in nine nearby high-mass star-forming regions
De-Jian Liu, Ye Xu, Ying-Jie Li +6
We present a study of molecular outflows using six molecular lines (including 12CO/13CO/C18O/HCO+(J = 1-0) and SiO/CS(J = 2-1)) toward nine nearby high-mass star-forming regions wi…
A comparison of the local spiral structure from Gaia DR2 and VLBI maser parallaxes
Y. Xu, S. B. Bian, M. J. Reid +8
Context. The Gaia mission has released the second data set (Gaia DR2), which contains parallaxes and proper motions for a large number of massive, young stars. Aims. We investigate…
