Determination of Galactic spiral structure at radiofrequencies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
We consider some results of attempts to trace the pattern of galactic spiral structure in HII regions, HI, and CO. There is really no adequate method available for solving this problem, a fact reflected in the lack of consensus regarding the “correct” spiral pattern. The newly-begun process of deriving galactic structure in CO seems to be recapitulating the history laid down by HI observers.
