East Asian VLBI Network astrometry toward the star-forming region G040.96+02.48 in the Extreme Outer Galaxy

Xianjin Shen, Zehao Lin, Nobuyuki Sakai +18

Accurate astrometric measurements for star-forming regions located on the far side of the Milky Way remain scarce. In this work, we present the astrometric results for a 22\,GHz wa…

Water Maser Survey towards off-plane O-rich AGBs around the orbital plane of the Sagittarius Stellar Stream

Yuanwei Wu, Bo Zhang, Jingjing Li +1

A 22 GHz water maser survey was conducted towards 178 O-rich AGB stars with the aim of identifying maser emission associated with the Sagittarius stellar stream. In this survey, ma…

Parallaxes for star forming regions in the inner Perseus spiral arm

Bo Zhang, Mark J. Reid, Lian Zhang +8

We report trigonometric parallax and proper motion measurements of 6.7-GHz CH3OH and 22-GHz H2O masers in eight high-mass star-forming regions (HMSFRs) based on VLBA observations a…

The Distances to Molecular Clouds at High Galactic Latitudes based on GAIA DR2

Qing-Zeng Yan, Bo Zhang, Ye Xu +4

We report the distances of molecular clouds at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10) derived from parallax and G band extinction (A) measurements in the second Gaia da…

SiO Maser Survey towards off-plane O-rich AGBs around the orbital plane of the Sagittarius Stellar Stream

Yuanwei Wu, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Ross A. Burns +1

We conducted an SiO maser survey towards 221 O-rich AGB stars with the aim of identifying maser emission associated with the Sagittarius stellar stream. In this survey, maser emiss…

Towards a three-dimensional distribution of the molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre

Qing-Zeng Yan, A. J. Walsh, J. R. Dawson +8

We present a study of the three-dimensional structure of the molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre (GC) using CO emission and OH absorption lines. Two CO isotopologue lines, $^{1…

Molecular Lines of 13 Galactic Infrared Bubble Regions

Qing-zeng Yan, Ye Xu, Bo Zhang +3

We investigated the physical properties of molecular clouds and star formation processes around infrared bubbles which are essentially expanding HII regions. We performed observati…
