The pattern speed of the Milky Way bar/bulge from VIRAC and Gaia

We compare distance resolved, absolute proper motions in the Milky Way bar/bulge region to a grid of made-To-measure dynamical models with well-defined pattern speeds. The data are obtained by combining the relative VVV InfraRed Astrometric Catalogue (VIRAC) v1 proper motions with the Gaia Data Rele...
