Distributions of the excitation parameters of HII regions (upper) and the masses of GMCs (lower). We adopted the IAU standard R0 = 8.5 kpc and Θ0 = 220 km s-1 and the standard solar motions together with a flat rotation curve in deriving the kinematic distances from velocities if no photometric or trigonometric distance is available.
