It contains new work on the outer rotation curve of the Milky Way, first results of a new low frequency galactic disk survey, new results on the scale of the Galaxy (the distance of the Sun from the center and the relation of the disk of the Milky Way to the halo). This is the first volume specifically dedicated to outer galaxy research. Professional astronomers and astrophysicists as well as graduate students will welcome this book as a guide in understanding the outer parts of the Milky Way and also other galaxies. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v306 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 676 $a520 702 $aBlitz$b Leo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLockman$b Felix J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466718603316 996 $aThe Outer Galaxy$92526088 997 $aUNISA
