We
calculate summarize physical parameters for our bones, including the aspect
ratios ratio, volume, H2 column, density and
masses per unit length for all ten filaments, along with other parameters, which are summarized mass in figure \ref{fig:mass_of_bones}. Of the ten filaments with velocities consistent with galactic rotation, \textbf{six} of these meet all six bone criteria: \textbf{candidates 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10}. However, it is important to note that some of the above criteria will likely be modified in the long run, as we learn more about the Skeleton of the Milky Way. Given our limited a priori knowledge of the Galaxy's structure, it is presently easier to find Bones that are spine-like, lying along arms with velocities predicted by extant modeling (criteria 1, 5), and harder to find spurs off those arms or inter-arm features, the velocities of which are hard to predict well. Similarly, criterion 6 does not allow for projection effects in imposing an aspect ratio limit. As we learn more about spiral structure from simulations and modeling, these criteria will also be adjusted to allow for Bone-like features that represent spurs, inter-arm structures, and/or foreshortened structures lying close to our line of sight.
