VizieR Online Data Catalog: Galactic HII regions. I. Stellar distances (Foster+, 2015)
Abstract
The cornerstone of our catalog of HII regions is the new systemic velocity measurements (with respect to the LSR), which come from high-resolution (1arcmin) λ21cm HI data and λ2.6mm 12CO (J=1-0) data. The HI data are entirely from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS; Taylor et al. 2003, cat. VI/128), whereas CO data are from either CGPS or the Exeter Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) CO Galactic Plane Survey (described in Mottram & Brunt, 2010ASPC..438...98M; C. M. Brunt et al. 2013, in preparation), depending on longitude. Our catalog covers HII regions in the outer Galaxy only (R>R0) in the longitude range 90°{<=}l{<=}193° and mainly within a latitude of -3.5°{<=}b{<=}+5.5°. A high-latitude extension was also observed as part of the CGPS (99.85°{<=}l{<=}116.96°) up to b=+17.56°. The complete CGPS data set of 21cm line and continuum from 50.2°{<=}l{<=}193.3° and -3.55°{<=}b{<=}+5.55° are available at the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC; http://cadc.hia.nrc.ca/).
21cm HI line observations used herein were carried out with the seven-element interferometer and 26m radio telescopes at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory for the CGPS (Taylor et al. 2033, cat. VI/128). To trace molecular material in the second quadrant, we make use of the FCRAO Outer Galaxy Survey (OGS; Heyer et al., 1998ApJS..115..241H). We present our full catalog of 355 stars found in and around Galactic HII regions in Table1. Table2 in this paper gives the final heliocentric stellar distance to each of 103 nebulae in the outer Galaxy. (3 data files).- Publication:
