摘要	Abstract As part of the BeSSeL Survey, we report trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of molecular maser sources associated with 13 distant high-mass star-forming regions in the Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way. In particular, we obtain improved parallax distance estimates for three well-studied regions: for M17, for W51, and for GAL 045.5+00.0. Peculiar motions for all but one source are less than 20 km s?1. We fit a log-periodic spiral to the locations and estimate an average pitch angle of 7.°2?±?1.°9. We find that the section of the arm beyond the tangent point in the first quadrant of the Milky Way appears 15?pc below the IAU-defined Galactic plane.
