摘要:

我们报道了G59.7+0.1和W51 IRS 2的三角函数,对应的距离分别为2.16^{+0.10}-0.09} kpc和5.1^{+2.9}-1.4} kpc.它与G59.7+0.1的距离小于它的近运动学距离,位于船底座-人马座和英仙座的旋臂之间,可能位于猎户座(Local)的马刺。到W 51 IRS 2的距离,虽然有很大的不确定性,但接近它的运动学距离,并将其放置在船底座-人马座臂的切点附近。将距离和自行与观测到的径向速度相结合,给出了恒星形成区的完整空间运动。我们发现,这些来源的银河系圆形轨道有5到10公里/秒的适度偏差,既与银河系自转相反,又朝向银河系中心。

英文摘要:

We report trigonometric parallaxes for G59.7+0.1 and W 51 IRS2, corresponding to distances of 2.16^{+0.10}_{-0.09} kpc and 5.1^{+2.9}_{-1.4} kpc, respectively. The distance to G59.7+0.1 is smaller than its near kinematic distance and places it between the Carina-Sagittarius and Perseus spiral arms, probably in the Local (Orion) spur. The distance to W 51 IRS2, while subject to significant uncertainty, is close to its kinematic distance and places it near the tangent point of the Carina-Sagittarius arm. It also agrees well with a recent estimate based on O-type star spectro/photometry. Combining the distances and proper motions with observed radial velocities gives the full space motions of the star forming regions. We find modest deviations of 5 to 10 km/s from circular Galactic orbits for these sources, both counter to Galactic rotation and toward the Galactic center.
