Scientific paper

Spiral arms in the Galaxy were traced by 255 emission nebulae with known photometric distances. Some parameters of the spiral structure were found. Pitch angles of three arms identified with the Local, Perseus and Sagittarius arms range between 18° and 21°. The radio source W51, a giant star formation region turned out to be located in the extension of the Local arm.
