Astrophysics of Galaxies 2020-08-26 v1

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: Ω0=28.40±0.11\Omega_0 =28.40\pm0.11 km s1^{-1} kpc1^{-1}, Ω0=3.933±0.033\Omega^{'}_0=-3.933\pm0.033 km s1^{-1} kpc2^{-2} and Ω0=0.804±0.040\Omega^{''}_0=0.804\pm0.040 km s1^{-1} kpc3^{-3}. The Oort constants are A=15.73±0.32A=15.73\pm0.32 km s1^{-1} kpc1^{-1} and B=12.67±0.34B=-12.67\pm0.34 km s1^{-1} kpc1^{-1}, while the circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center is V0=227±4V_0=227\pm4 km s1^{-1} for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun R0=8.0±0.15R_0=8.0\pm0.15 kpc.
