A low density-wave spiral pattern speed, from the tracer separations (age gradient) across a spiral arm in the Milky Way
arXiv:2106.15761 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stab1679
Abstract
We observe the density wave angular pattern speed OMEGA-p to be near 12 to 17 km / s / kpc, by the separation between a typical optical HII region (from the spiral arm dust lane) and using a HII evolution time model to yield its relative speed, and independently by the separation between a typical radio maser (from the spiral arm dust lane) with a maser model.
