英文摘要 | The lack of arm tracers, especially remote tracers, is one of the most difficult problems preventing us from studying the structure of the Milky Way. Fortunately, with its high-sensitivity CO survey, the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project offers such an opportunity. Since completing about one-third of its mission, an area of l = [100, 150]degrees, b = [-3, 5]degrees has nearly been covered. The Outer arm of the Milky Way first clearly revealed its shape in the second galactic quadrant in the form of molecular gas-this is the first time that the Outer arm has been reported in such a large-scale mapping of molecular gas. Using the 115 GHz (CO)-C-12(1-0) data of MWISP at the LSR velocity similar or equal to[-100, -60] km s(-1) and in the area mentioned above, we have detected 481 molecular clouds in total, and among them 332 (about 69%) are newly detected and 457 probably belong to the Outer arm. The total mass of the detected Outer arm clouds is similar to 3.1 x 10(6) M-circle dot. Assuming that the spiral arm is a logarithmic spiral, the pitch angle is fitted as similar to 13 degrees.1. Besides combining both the CO data from MWISP and the 21 cm H I data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS), the gas distribution, warp, and thickness of the Outer arm are also studied. |
