On the Structure of the Sagittarius Spiral Arm in the Inner Milky Way

S. B. Bian, Y. W. Wu, Y. Xu +6

We report measurements of trigonometric parallax and proper motion for two 6.7 GHz methanol and two 22 GHz water masers located in the far portion of the Sagittarius spiral arm as…

Probing the nature of rotation in the Pleiades, Alpha Persei, and Hyades clusters

C. J. Hao, Y. Xu, L. G. Hou +5

Unraveling the internal kinematics of open clusters is crucial for understanding their formation and evolution. However, there is a dearth of research on this topic, primarily due…
