Determination of the Solar Galactocentric Distance from the Kinematics of Masers
We determine the parameters of Galactic rotation and the solar galactocentric distance R0 by simultaneously solving Bottlinger’s kinematic equations using data for masers with known line-of-sight velocities and highly accurate VLBI trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions. Our sample includes 93...
