Velocity ranges and associated locations of the clouds along the line of sight to Sgr B2.

Location vLSR
(km s−1)
Galactic centre <−50
3 kpc arm −50 to −35
4 kpc arm −30 to −10
Galactic centre −9 to 8
Sgr arm 5 to 22
Scutum arm 25 to 39

Notes. The combination of the velocity ranges mentioned in these papers results in some overlapping ranges. We treat clouds falling in the overlapping velocity range between 5 and 8 km s−1 as GC clouds.
