Figure 8.
Upper panel: distribution of the studied clusters in the l–vGSR plane. The symbols change as a function of Galactocentric radius. vGSR has been computed assuming (U⊙, V⊙, W⊙) = (10.7,15.6,8.9) km s−1 and Θ0 = 240 km s−1 from Reid et al. (2014). Lines represent circular orbits at different radii showing the rotation curve derived by Reid et al. (2014). Errors in vGSR are not plotted since they are smaller than the point size (see Table 9). Lower panel: differences between the velocities of the clusters with respect to the GSR and the circular velocity at the position of each cluster vGSR − vGSR, rot.
