Local stellar distribution and galactic spiral structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Aside from the well-known spiral arm tracers such as the OB associations, young galactic clusters, WR stars and possibly the long-period classical cepheids, the more common stars in the neighborhood of the sun within 2 kpc show little or no relationship to the local spiral structure of the galaxy.
