GSH 91.5+2-114: A large Hi shell in the outer part of the Galaxy

GSH 91.5 + 2 - 114 is a large Hi shell located in the outer Galaxy at a kinematic distance of about 15 kpc. It was first identified in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) by Pineault et al. (2002, ASP Conf. Ser., 276, 332) as being possibly associated with objects possessing infrared colors, w...
