On the Possibility of Determining the Distance to the Galactic Center from the Geometry of Spiral Arm Segments
A new approach to determining the solar galactocentric distance, R0, from the geometry of spiral-arm segments is proposed. Geometric aspects of the problem are analyzed and a simplified three-point method for estimating R0 from objects in a spiral segment is developed in order to test the proposed a...
