Abstract:
We combine optical and radio observations to trace the spiral
structure in the third quadrant of the Milky Way. The optical
observations consist of a large sample of young open clusters and
associations, whereas the radio observations consist of a survey of
nearby and distant clouds observed in CO. Both the optical and radio
samples are the largest ones thus far presented in the literature. We
use this unique material to analyze the behavior of interstellar
extinction and to trace the detailed structure of the third Galactic
quadrant (TGQ).
Description:
This sample extension comes from an observing run conducted in Cerro
Tololo with the 1.0m telescope on nights 2005 November 28-December 4.
