Exploring the pertubed Milky Way disk and the substructures of the outer disk

Y. Xu, C. Liu, H. Tian +6

The recent discovery of a spiral feature in phase plane in the solar neighborhood implies that the Galactic disk has been remarkably affected by a dwarf galaxy passing thro…

Anomalous peculiar motions of high-mass young stars in the Scutum spiral arm

K. Immer, J. Li, L. H. Quiroga-Nuñez +4

We present trigonometric parallax and proper motion measurements toward 22 GHz water and 6.7 GHz methanol masers in 16 high-mass star-forming regions. These sources are all located…

Trigonometric Parallaxes Of High-Mass Star Forming Regions: Our View Of The Milky Way

M. J. Reid, K. M. Menten, A. Brunthaler +15

We compile and analyze ~200 trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of molecular masers associated with very young high-mass stars. These measurements strongly suggest that the…

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…

Revisiting LS I +61 303 with VLBI astrometry

Y. W. Wu, G. Torricelli-Ciamponi, M. Massi +4

We conducted multi-epoch VLBA phase reference observations of LS I +61 303 in order to study its precessing radio jet. Compared to similar observations in 2006, we find that the ob…

First Parallax Measurements Towards a 6.7 GHz Methanol Maser with the Australian Long Baseline Array - Distance to G339.884-1.259

V. Krishnan, S. P. Ellingsen, M. J. Reid +23

We have conducted the first parallax and proper motion measurements of 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission using the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA). The parallax of G339.8841.…
