Abstract
The purpose of this project was to determine the relationship between the distribution of white dwarfs and the Milky Way Galaxy’s spiral arm structure. The Gaia Mission was launched in 2015 with the purpose of mapping the Milky Way Galaxy. This mission has made accurate and up-to-date information about the stars in our galaxy easily accessible. The data gathered by this mission is what was used for this project.
