Abstract
In this work, we analyzed all available determinations of the Galactic rotation parameters and made during last 10 years to derive the most probable value of the Galactic aberration constant . We used several statistical methods to obtain reliable estimates of and and their realistic errors. In result, we have obtained the value of as/yr as the current best estimate of the GA constant. We suggest that the proposed value of the GA constant can be safely used in practice during coming years.
