Abstract:
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, with physical properties
inferred from various tracers informed by the extrapolation of
structures seen in other galaxies. However, the distances of these
tracers are measured indirectly and are model-dependent. We
constructed a map of the Milky Way in three dimensions, based on the
positions and distances of thousands of classical Cepheid variable
stars. This map shows the structure of our Galaxy's young stellar
population and allows us to constrain the warped shape of the Milky
Way's disk. A simple model of star formation in the spiral arms
reproduces the observed distribution of Cepheids.
Description:
We analyzed data for 2431 galactic Cepheids, most of which were
discovered by the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing
Experiment (OGLE-IV) project
