3. Stellar Studies of Local Galactic Structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 November 2021
Extract
This subsection reports results on the existence and nature of the possible unseen matter near the Sun, the local density of disc and halo stars, the respective luminosity functions and the local distributions of some special type objects. It summarizes work relating to the space density of stars of different types in the plane of the Galaxy and dealing with photometric stellar studies in the Milky Way fields of strong interstellar extinction. It also reviews galactic models relevant to the local structure.
