Systematic Investigation of Dust and Gaseous CO in 12 Nearby Molecular Clouds
John Arban Lewis, Charles J. Lada, Thomas Dame
We report the first uniform and systematic study of dust and molecular gas in nearby molecular clouds. We use surveys of dust extinction and emission to determine the opacity and m…
High-Mass Star Formation in the Outer Scutum-Centaurus Arm
W. P. Armentrout, L. D. Anderson, Dana S. Balser +3
The Outer Scutum-Centaurus (OSC) spiral arm is the most distant molecular spiral arm in the Milky Way, but until recently little was known about this structure. Discovered by Dame…
Parallaxes of Star Forming Regions in the Outer Spiral Arm of the Milky Way
K. Hachisuka, Y. K. Choi, M. J. Reid +4
We report parallaxes and proper motions of three water maser sources in high-mass star-forming regions in the Outer Spiral Arm of the Milky Way. The observations were conducted wit…
The Parallax of W43: a Massive Star Forming Complex near the Galactic Bar
B. Zhang, L. Moscadelli, M. Sato +7
We report trigonometric parallax measurements of masers in the massive star forming complex W43 from VLBA observations as part of the BeSSeL Survey. Based on measurements of three…
ON the Nature of the Local Spiral Arm of the Milky Way
Y. Xu, J. J. Li, M. J. Reid +6
Trigonometric parallax measurements of nine water masers associated with the Local arm of the Milky Way were carried out as part of the BeSSeL Survey using the VLBA. When combined…
Planck Early Results: All sky temperature and dust optical depth from Planck and IRAS: Constraints on the "dark gas" in our galaxy
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +204
We construct an all-sky map of the apparent temperature and optical depth of thermal dust emission using the Planck-HFI and IRAS data. The optical depth maps are correlated to trac…
