Abstract
Does our Galaxy possess spiral structure and, if so, can this structure be traced observationally with some degree of confidence? This is the major question to which I shall address myself tonight. Following my talk, Professor Lin will speak about the theoretical aspects of spiral structure. I shall be very brief in my references to spiral structure in galaxies outside our own and leave it largely to Professor Lin to speak about observations on other spiral galaxies and their relevance for possible theoretical interpretations.KeywordsRadial VelocityGalactic CenterGalactic PlaneSpiral StructureSpiral PatternThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
