Overview

Abstract

We report trigonometric parallaxes for three massive star-forming regions, corresponding to distances of 2.34^0.13 _-0.11 kpc for G12.89 0.49 (also known as IRAS 18089-1732), 1.98^0.14 _-0.12 kpc for G15.03-0.68 (in the M17 region), and 8.0^4.0 _-2.0 kpc for G27.36-0.16. Both G12.89 0.49 and G15.03-0.68 are located in the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm.
