Spiral structure of neutral hydrogen in our Galaxy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
This paper discusses the evidence on the hydrogen spiral structure which is available from 21-cm observations. The problems involved in deriving a hydrogen map are discussed, and one interpretation of the spiral pattern is presented. Some of the major characteristics of the H I in spiral arms are discussed, and a comparison is made between the kinematics of H I and H II.
