The book summarizes research into the fundamental properties of the
outer Milky Way (including its mass, scale and rotation properties)
and covers topics such as spiral structure, the interstellar
medium, star formation, satellites of the Milky Way and the outer
parts of some nearby galaxies. It contains new work on the outer
rotation curve of the Milky Way, first results of a new low
frequency galactic disk survey, new results on the scale of the
Galaxy (the distance of the Sun from the center and the relation of
the disk of the Milky Way to the halo). This is the first volume
specifically dedicated to outer galaxy research. Professional
astronomers and astrophysicists as well as graduate students will
welcome this book as a guide in understanding the outer parts of
the Milky Way and also other galaxies.
