Milky way

At IT ARC, a branch of our research concerns our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, and focuses on a range of scientific topics, such as Galactic spiral structure, molecular clouds and star formation across the Galactic disk, the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium, and stellar and interstellar masers. These lines of research are pursued by making observations with world-class telescopes and instrumentation in spectral regions from the radio to the optical, via millimeter and the infrared.
