Different studies of the global pitch angle of the Milky Way's spiral arms.

VALLEE J.P.

Abstract (from CDS):

There are many published values for the pitch angle of individual spiral arms, and their wide distribution (from -3° to -28°) begs for various attempts for a single value. Each of four statistical methods used here yields a mean pitch angle in a small range, between -12° and -14° (Table, Fig.). The final result of our meta-analysis yields a mean global pitch angle in the Milky Way's spiral arms of -13.1°±0.6°.
