Calibrating the Color–Magnitude Relation of M Giants by Using Open Clusters by X. Y. Tang, C. J. Hao, J. Li, Z. Z. Yan, Y. Xu, J. Zhong, Z. H. Lin, Y. J. Li, D. J. Liu, L. F. Ding, X. F. Long

“…M giants, with their distinctive properties such as high luminosity, serve as excellent indicators for mapping the structure of the Milky Way. The distance to distant M giants can be determined by using the color–magnitude relation (CMR), which is derived from color–magnitude diagrams of specific systems in previous studies. …”

Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] by Pamela Klaassen, Maria Beltrán, Alessio Traficante, Mark Booth, Kate Pattle, Jonathan Marshall, Joshua Lovell, Brandt Gaches, Alvaro Hacar, Nicolas Peretto, Caroline Bot, Doris Arzoumanian, Thomas Stanke, Gaspard Duchêne, Ana Duarte Cabral, Antonio Hales, David Eden, Patricia Luppe, Jens Kauffmann, Elena Redaelli, Sebastian Marino, Álvaro Sánchez-Monge, Andrew Rigby, Dmitry Semenov, Eugenio Schisano, Mark Thompson, Silvia Spezzano, Claudia Cicone, Friedrich Wyrowski, Martin Cordiner, Tony Mroczkowski, Doug Johnstone, Luca Di Mascolo, Minju Lee, Eelco van Kampen, Thomas Maccarone, Daizhong Liu, Matthew Smith, Amélie Saintonge, Sven Wedemeyer, Alexander Thelen

“…Because we are deeply embedded in the plane of our Galaxy, it takes up a significant fraction of the sky, with complex dust lanes scattered throughout the optically recognizable bands of the Milky Way. These bands become bright at (sub-)millimetre wavelengths, where we can study dust thermal emission and the chemical and kinematic signatures of the gas. …”
