چکیده
We present distances to 76 medium-sized molecular clouds and an extra large-scale one in the second Galactic quadrant ($104.75^\circ <l<150.25^\circ $ $|b|<5.25^\circ$), 73 of which are accurately measured for first time. Molecular cloud samples drawn from $l$-$b$-$V$ space ($-95 < V_{\rm LSR}< 25$ \kms) with density-based spatial clustering applications noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, background-eliminated extinction-parallax (BEEP) method using extinctions Gaia DR2 parallaxes. The range is 211 2631 pc, appears be a coherent structure at about 1 kpc, across 40\deg\ ($\sim$700 pc) longitude.

Distances to the high galactic latitude molecular clouds G 192 - 67 and MBM 23 - 24
We report on distance determinations for two high Galactic latitude cloud complexes, G192-67 and MBM 23-24. No distance determination exists in the literature for either cloud. Thirty-four early type stars were observed towards the two clouds, more than half of which have parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos satellite. For the remaining stars we have made spectroscopic distance estimates. The d...
متن کاملMACHOs AND MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN GALACTIC HALOS
Recent observations of microlensing events in the Large Magellanic Cloud by the MACHO and EROS collaborations suggest that an important fraction of the galactic halo is in the form of Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs) with mass ∼ 0.1M⊙. We outline a scenario in which dark clusters of MACHOs and molecular clouds form in the halo at galactocentric distances larger than ∼ 10 − 20...
متن کاملDISTANCES TO GALACTIC HIGH-VELOCITY CLOUDS. I. COHEN STREAM, COMPLEX GCP, CLOUD g1
The highand intermediate-velocity interstellar clouds (HVCs/IVCs) are tracers of energetic processes in and around the Milky Way. Clouds with near-solar metallicity about 1 kpc above the disk trace the circulation of material between disk and halo (the Galactic fountain). TheMagellanic Stream consists of gas tidally extracted from the SMC, tracing the dark matter potential of the Milky Way. Sev...
متن کاملStudies of molecular clouds at the Galactic centre
Interstellar molecular clouds play an essential role in the Universe. Such clouds are invoked for the production and destruction of stars, galaxies and gas and also for energy transport in galaxies. The Galaxy, or the Milky Way, is a large spiral galaxy, with a central bar structure, that harbours a few hundred billion stars and large amounts of gas and dust. At the centre of the Galaxy, a 4 mi...
متن کاملStar Formation and Molecular Clouds towards the Galactic Anti-Center
The Galactic Anticenter region hosts a a number of massive molecular cloud complexes, some of which are currently actively forming stars. Two major OB associations, Gem OB1 and Aur OB1, are found in this direction, each with numerous massive stars and a supernova remnant. The dominant region of star formation is centered around the Sh 2-235 complex and the nearby regions AFGL 5142, 5144, and 51...
