A Map of the Outer Gas Disk of the Galaxy with Direct Distances from Young Stars

For more than 50 yr, astronomers have mapped the neutral hydrogen gas in the Galaxy assuming kinematically derived distances. We employ the distances of nearby young stars, which trace the gas from which they formed, in longitude–latitude–velocity space to map this gas without using kinematic distan...
