We have selected and analyzed a sample of OB stars with known line-of-sight velocities determined through ground-based observations and with trigonometric parallaxes and propermotions from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. Some of the stars in our sample have distance estimates made from calcium lines. A direct comparison with the trigonometric distance scale has shown that the calcium distance scale should be reduced by 13%. The following parameters of the Galactic rotation curve have been determined from 495 OB stars with relative parallax errors less than 30%: (U, V,W)⊙ = (8.16, 11.19, 8.55)± (0.48, 0.56, 0.48) km s−1, Ω0 = 28.92 ± 0.39 km s−1 kpc−1, Ω'0 = −4.087 ± 0.083 km s−1 kpc−2, and Ω″ 0 = 0.703 ± 0.067 km s−1 kpc−3, where the circular velocity of the local standard of rest is V0 = 231 ± 5 km s−1 (for the adopted R0 = 8.0 ± 0.15 kpc). The parameters of the Galactic spiral density wave have been found from the series of radial, VR, residual tangential, ΔVcirc, and vertical, W, velocities of OB stars by applying a periodogram analysis. The amplitudes of the radial, tangential, and vertical velocity perturbations are fR = 7.1± 0.3 km s−1, fθ = 6.5 ± 0.4 km s−1, and fW = 4.8± 0.8 km s−1, respectively; the perturbation wavelengths are λR = 3.3 ± 0.1 kpc, λθ = 2.3 ± 0.2 kpc, and λW = 2.6 ± 0.5 kpc; and the Sun’s radial phase in the spiral density wave is (χ⊙)R = −135◦ ± 5◦, (χ⊙)θ = −123◦ ± 8◦, and (χ⊙)W = −132◦ ± 21◦ for the adopted four-armed spiral pattern.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the inter-cloud magnetic field (ICMF) geometry of the region surrounding LDN 1157 was mapped to investigate its relationship with the cloud morphology, with the outflow direction and with the core magnetic field geometry inferred from the mm-and sub-mm polarization results from the literature, and to investigate the kinematic structure of the cloud.

Analysis of Close Stellar Encounters with the Solar System
TL;DR: In this article, the epicyclic method has been used to calculate the parameters of the encounters of the stars with the solar system, in good agreement with the first method, for the first time they have obtained the following estimates of the encounter parameters for the star Gaia DR2 3130033734235815424:

Galactic resonance rings: modelling of motions in the wide solar neighbourhood
TL;DR: In this article, Ferrers ellipsoids with density distribution defined by power indices n=1 and 2 are considered. But the results show that these models cannot reproduce the residual velocities in the Carina and Cygnus stellar-gas complexes.

TL;DR: In this article, a selected sample of 50 long-period, low-extinction Milky Way Cepheids measured on the same WFC3 F555W, F814W, and F160W-band photometric system as extragalactic Cepsheids in SN Ia hosts were observed with the optical and near-infrared to mitigate saturation and reduce pixel-to-pixel calibration errors.

Evidence for a systematic offset of -80 micro-arcseconds in the Gaia DR2 parallaxes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reprise the analysis of Stassun & Torres (2016) and find evidence for a systematic offset of $-82 \pm 33$ micro-arcseconds, in the sense of the Gaia parallaxes being too small, for brightnesses $(G \lesssim 12)$ and for distances (0.03 -3 kpc) in the ranges spanned by the eclipsing binary sample.
