Radio Recombination Lines (RRLs)
• Used to measure distances to star forming regions in the Milky Way
• Combine with other observations to study dust and gas in young massive clusters

Data Collection/Reduction• Observed 7 RRLs in 10 HII regions within the
galactic plane• Combined scans, baselined, fit Gaussian,
obtained VLSR
