Galactic Rotation Parameters Based on Stars from Activ Star-Forming Regions with Data from the Gaia DR2 Catalogue (2008.10981v1)
Abstract: We have studied a sample of more than 25 000 young stars with proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. The relative errors of their parallaxes do not exceed 10\%. The selection of stars belonging to active star-forming regions was made by Marton et al. based on data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue by invoking infrared measurements from the WISE and Planck catalogues. Low-mass T Tauri stars constitute the majority of sample stars. The following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation have been found from them: $\Omega_0 =28.40\pm0.11$ km s${-1}$ kpc${-1}$, $\Omega{'}_0=-3.933\pm0.033$ km s${-1}$ kpc${-2}$ and $\Omega{''}_0=0.804\pm0.040$ km s${-1}$ kpc${-3}$. The Oort constants are $A=15.73\pm0.32$ km s${-1}$ kpc${-1}$ and $B=-12.67\pm0.34$ km s${-1}$ kpc${-1}$, while the circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center is $V_0=227\pm4$ km s${-1}$ for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun $R_0=8.0\pm0.15$ kpc.
