The distribution of young stars, clusters and Cepheids in the Milky Way and M33 - a comparison
Description
The author briefly reviews the evidence for optical spiral structure as revealed by the distribution of the associations of young stars, the youngest open clusters and the long-period Cepheids. Also the distribution of the young stars, associations and Cepheids in our neighboring spiral galaxy M33 is discussed. A comparison allows some perspective on the problems of spiral structure in the Milky Way. (Auth.)
