Kinematic Properties of Young Intermediate- and Low-Mass Stars from the Gaia DR2 Catalogue (2011.00274v1)

Abstract: We have studied the kinematic properties of young pre-main-sequence stars. We have selected these stars based on data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue by invoking a number of photometric infrared surveys. Using 4564 stars with parallax errors less than 20\%, we have found the following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation: $\Omega_0 =28.84\pm0.10$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, $\Omega^{'}_0=-4.063\pm0.029$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2}$ and $\Omega^{''}_0=0.766\pm0.020$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-3}$, where the Oort constants are $A=16.25\pm0.33$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ and $B=-12.58\pm0.34$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$. The circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center is $V_0=230.7\pm4.4$ km s$^{-1}$ for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun $R_0=8.0\pm0.15$ kpc. The residual velocity dispersion for the stars considered is shown to be low, suggesting that they are extremely young. The residual velocity dispersion averaged over three coordinates is $\sim$11 km s$^{-1}$ for Herbig Ae/Be stars and $\sim$7 km s$^{-1}$ for T Tauri stars.
