The main objectives of the workshop were to review current observational evidence for spiral arms in our Galaxy and confront them with models of spiral structure in order to arrive at a consistent picture. Of primary importance was to understand just what additional information is required to resolve outstanding issues related to the spiral structure in the Milky Way, especially as new survey instruments (e.g., ALMA, VISTA and VST) are coming online and major space missions like GAIA will be launched in the near future.

Abstract

The main objectives of the workshop were to review current observational evidence for spiral arms in our Galaxy and confront them with models of spiral structure in order to arrive at a consistent picture. Of primary importance was to understand just what additional information is required to resolve outstanding issues related to the spiral structure in the Milky Way, especially as new survey instruments (e.g., ALMA, VISTA and VST) are coming online and major space missions like GAIA will be launched in the near future.
