Characterizing the Evolved Stellar Population in the Galactic Foreground I: Bolometric Magnitudes, Spatial Distribution and P-L Relations

Luis Henry Quiroga-Nuñez, Huib Jan van Langevelde, Loránt O. Sjouwerman +6

Radio campaigns using maser stellar beacons have provided crucial information to characterize Galactic stellar populations. Currently, the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution…

The nature of the methanol maser ring G23.65700.127. II. Expansion of the maser structure

Anna Bartkiewicz, Alberto Sanna, Marian Szymczak +3

Ring-like distributions of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser spots at milliarcsecond scales represent a family of molecular structures of unknown origin associated with high-mass young st…

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…

Resolving the distance controversy for Sharpless 269: A possible kink in the outer arm

L. H. Quiroga-Nuñez, K. Immer, H. J. van Langevelde +2

Sharpless 269 (S269) is one of a few HII regions in the outer spiral arm of the Milky Way with strong water maser emission. Based on data from the Very Long Baseline Interferometry…

Positional Offsets Between SiO Masers in Evolved Stars and their Cross-Matched Counterparts

Ylva M. Pihlström, Loránt O. Sjouwerman, Mark J Claussen +4

Observations of dust-enshrouded evolved stars selected from infrared catalogs requiring high positional accuracy, like infrared spectroscopy or long baseline radio interferometric…

Maser, infrared and optical emission for late-type stars in the Galactic plane

L. H. Quiroga-Nuñez, H. J. van Langevelde, L. O. Sjouwerman +4

Radio astrometric campaigns using VLBI have provided distances and proper motions for masers associated with young massive stars (BeSSeL survey). The ongoing BAaDE project plans to…
