Young giant stars reveal a flaring Milky Way disc with 3.5 kpc radial scale and extended spiral arms including a curved Perseus segment and a new Scutum-associated feature.
A revised steady-state radial-velocity response model with both V_R,sin and V_R,cos terms constrains the Milky Way's two-armed spiral to a pitch angle of ~10° and local density contrast of 5-18% at the solar radius.
