Description


Combining H I data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey and CO data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project (MWISP), we have identified a new segment of a spiral arm between Galactocentric radii of 15 and 19kpc that apparently lies beyond the Outer Arm in the second Galactic quadrant. Over most of its length, the arm is 400-600pc thick in z. The new arm appears to be the extension of the distant arm recently discovered by Dame & Thaddeus (2011ApJ...734L..24D) as well as the Scutum-Centaurus Arm into the outer second quadrant. Our current survey identified a total of 72 molecular clouds with masses on the order of 10^2^-10^4^M_{sun}_ that probably lie in the new arm. When all of the available data from the CO molecular clouds are fit, the best-fitting spiral model gives a pitch angle of 9.3{deg}+/-0.7{deg}.
