Abstract
We have selected a sample of 326 young (log t < 8) open star clusters with the proper motions and distances calculated by various authors from Gaia DR2 data. The mean values of their line-of-sight velocities have also been taken from various publications. As a result of our kinematic analysis, we have found the following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation: Ω0 = 29.34 ± 0.31 km s−1 kpc−1, Ω′0 = −4.012 ± 0.074 kms−1 kpc−2, and Ω″0 = 0.779 ± 0.062 kms−1 kpc−3. The circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center is V0 = 235 ± 5 km s−1 for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun R0 = 8.0 ± 0.15 kpc. The amplitudes of the tangential and radial velocity perturbations produced by the spiral density wave are fθ = 3.8 ± 1.2 km s−1 and fR = 4.7 ± 1.0 km s−1, respectively; the perturbation wavelengths are λθ = 2.3 ± 0.5 kpc and λr = 2.2 ± 0.5 kpc for the adopted four-armed spiral pattern. The Sun’s phase in the spiral density wave is close to χ⊙ = −120° ± 10°.
