Disk stars in the second quadrant, within 1 kpc of the Sun, are moving radially toward the Galactic center and vertically toward a point a few tenths of a kiloparsec above the Galactic plane looking down on the disk, the stars appear to move in a circular streaming motion with a radius of the order of 1 kpc. It is typically rendered graphically as a plot, and the data observed.


The rotation curve of a disc galaxy (also called a velocity curve) is a plot of the orbital speeds of visible stars or gas in that galaxy versus their radial distance from that galaxy's centre.

Using the corrected phase-space stellar sample, we find statistically significant deviations in the bulk disk velocity of $20$ km s$^$ from the Sun’s position to 1.5 kpc outside the solar circle.

Right: Galaxy with a flat rotation curve that would be expected with dark matter. We provide the resulting table of systematic offsets derived from the PPMXL proper motion measurements of extragalactic objects identified in the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. The PPMXL proper motions have been corrected to remove systematic errors by subtracting the average proper motions of galaxies and QSOs that have been confirmed in the LAMOST spectroscopic survey, and that are within $2.5^\circ$ of the star’s position. Members of a massive galaxy-mapping project started a few years ago have just unveiled the first of several atlases they will produce of our Milky Way's galactic disc. Can variable stars be used to map out the structures of the galactic disk No, because even the brightest Cepheids are unobservable at distances of more. We use the radial velocities of $\sim340,000$ F-type stars obtained with the Guoshoujing Telescope (also known as the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, LAMOST), and proper motions derived from the PPMXL catalog.

We confirm, quantify, and provide a table of the coherent velocity substructure of the Milky Way disk within 2 kpc of the Sun toward the Galactic anticenter, with a 0.2 kpc resolution.
