Abstract
We have examined all models proposed since the late 1970s for the Galaxy’s spiral structure in the context of the all-sky [CII] 158µm and [NII] 205µm cooling line data obtained by the FIRAS instrument of COBE. We present a model which maximizes the agreement between model predictions and FIRAS data.
