Although the topic "galactic cartography" does not play a major role (neither in astronomy nor in Star Trek) and I had to collect most of the information myself, the implementation of this section was only possible with a large number of electronic and conventional media. Surprisingly the good old book provided the most important information, whereas almost nothing on the topic could be found in the internet - neither on astronomy nor on Star Trek websites. Finally, I owe my gratitude for working out the models, for theories and conclusions to a couple of great people whose names and e-mail addresses are listed at the bottom of this page.
