Near 3 kpc Arm : ウィキペディア英語版 | Near 3 kpc Arm
The Near 3 kpc Arm (also called Expanding 3 kpc Arm or simply 3 kpc Arm) was discovered in the 1950s by astronomer van Woerden and collaborators through 21-centimeter radio measurements of HI (atomic hydrogen).〔(Expansion d'une structure spirale dans le noyau du Système Galactique, et position de la radiosource Sagittarius A ), Comptes Rendus l'Academie des Sciences, Vol. 244, p. 1691–1695, 1957〕〔(A New Spiral Arm of the Galaxy: The Far 3-Kpc Arm ), T. M. Dame, P. Thaddeus, ApJ Letters, 2008〕 It was found to be expanding away from the center of the Milky Way at more than 50 km/s. This spiral arm contains about 10 million solar masses of gas, mostly hydrogen atoms and molecules.〔(Milky Way's Inner Beauty Revealed ), Press Release Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 2008〕 It is located in the fourth galactic quadrant at a distance of about 5.2 kpc from the Sun and 3.3 kpc from the galactic center.〔 The last attempt to search for star forming regions in the Near 3 kpc Arm (in 1980) showed little star formation occurring in the numerous molecular clouds of this arm.〔(The Far 3kpc Arm ) NASA/Astronomy Picture of the Day, 2008〕〔(Star formation and ionization in the 3 kiloparsec arm ), Astrophysical Journal, Part 1, vol. 241, Oct. 1, 1980, p. 200–207〕 Along with the Far 3 kpc Arm discovered in 2008, these inner arms establish our Galaxy's simple symmetry.〔 ==References==
