银河系研究的近期进展

Recent Progress in Galactic Astronomy

银河系天文学是天文学研究的一个重要且基础的课题。它涉及到天体物理的许多领域。近年来,由于观测资料的大量获得以及理论工作的不断发展,银河系的研究又成为天体物理中的一个热点。本文旨在对银河系研究的近期结果作一简单回顾和评述。

Galactic astronomy is a basic, important branch of astronomical science. It is closely linked with many aspects of modern astrophysics. As ever-growing and better observational data become available and theoretical research vigorously developing in recent years, many an astrophysicist's attention has been drawn back from the fasion to the problems of the Galaxy. In this paper we present a brief review of the recent studies of the Milky Way System except for the Galaxy center area, to which a subsequent review will be devoted.
