Synergies between VLBI and Gaia: tracing the Milky Way structure

Thursday February 27, 2020
2:00 pm


 Presenter:  Luis Quiroga-Nunez (NRAO/UNM)
 Series:  Center for Astrophysics Research and Technologies Seminar Series
 Abstract:  The Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) survey and the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) project target maser stellar emission from young massive stars and evolved stars in the Galactic plane. The results of these radio campaigns are complementary to Gaia since the Galactic plane is obscured at optical wavelengths. In this talk, we relate the synergies between Gaia and VLBI astrometry, which provide important clues on: intrinsic stellar properties, characterization of different stellar populations, the fundamental Galactic parameters and the distribution of the Galactic spiral structure .
 Host:  Gregory Taylor
