I'm looking for sources, other than the ones that turn up on Google et
al, of the most up-to-date information (size, mass, number of stars, etc.) on our galaxy. One thing that I'm particularly interested in is its current de Vaucouleurs classification, especially in light of the recent Spitzer Space Telescope data, which is not peer reviewed, that indicates that the Milky Way has two major spiral arms. So is the Milky Way still considered to be a SB(rs)bc II barred spiral or is there a newer classification? Dave Mitsky |
