Direct determination of the epicycle frequency in the galactic disk, and the derived rotation velocity V0
J. R. D. Lepine, Wilton S. Dias, Yuri Mishurov
We present a method which allows a direct measurement of the epicycle frequency in the galactic disk, using the large database on open clusters completed by our group. The obse…
