The distance to the Perseus spiral arm in the Milky Way.
We have measured the distance to the massive star-forming region W3OH in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way to be 1.95 +/- 0.04 kiloparsecs (5.86 x10(16) km). This distance was determined by triangulation, with Earth's orbit as one segment of a triangle, using the Very Long Baseline Array. This resolves the long-standing problem that there is a discrepancy of a factor of 2 between differen...
متن کاملPrecision Velocity Fields in Spiral Galaxies. I. Noncircular Motions and Rms Noise in Disks
Investigation of the symmetry of the majorand minor-axis rotation curves reveals strong evidence of nonconcentric gas orbits with the maximum center shift of D300 pc. Comparisons between kinematic and photometric structure (e.g., position angles, inclinations, centers) show considerable noise on small scales. Although large-scale averages are in agreement, this noise is a matter of some concern...
متن کاملTuning of MST neurons to spiral motions.
Cells in the dorsal division of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd) have large receptive fields and respond to expansion/contraction, rotation, and translation motions. These same motions are generated as we move through the environment, leading investigators to suggest that area MSTd analyzes the optical flow. One influential idea suggests that navigation is achieved by decomposing the op...
متن کاملKinematics of Spiral-arm Streaming in M51
We use CO and H velocity fields to study the gas kinematics in the spiral arms and interarms of M51 (NGC 5194), and fit the 2D velocity field to estimate the radial and tangential velocity components as a function of spiral phase (arm distance).We find large radial and tangential streaming velocities, which are qualitatively consistentwith the predictions of density wave theory and support the ...
متن کاملXMM-Newton Observations of the Perseus Cluster II: Evidence for Gas Motions in the Core
The 5-9 keV spectrum of the inner ∼100 kpc of the Perseus cluster measured by XMMNewton can be well described by an optically thin plasma emission model as predicted by the APEC code, without any need for invoking a strong Ni overabundance or the effects of resonant scattering. For the strongest 6.7 keV line of He-like iron, the optical depth of the cluster, calculated using observed density, t...
