Bibcode: 1999ARep...43..487M
Mishurov, Yu. N.; Zenina, I. A.
A method is developed for analyzing stellar velocity fields in our Galaxy, with allowance for spiral-density-wave perturbations. The parameters of the Galactic rotation curve, spiral pattern, and mean solar motion are inferred using new Cepheid radial velocities and proper motions measured by the HIPPARCOS space telescope. The Sun is very close to…
