New method for estimating molecular cloud distances based on Gaia, 2MASS, and the TRILEGAL galaxy model
Juan Mei, Zhiwei Chen, Zhibo Jiang +2
We propose a new method for estimating the distances of molecular clouds traced by CO line emission. Stars from 2MASS and Gaia EDR3 are selected as on-cloud stars when they are pro…
