Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The spatial variations of the velocity field of local stars provide direct evidence of Galactic differential rotation. The local divergence, shear and vorticity of the velocity field – the traditional Oort constants – can be measured based purely on astrometric measurements and in particular depend linearly on proper motion and parallax. I use data for 304 267 main-sequence stars from the Gaia DR1 Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution to perform a local, precise measurement of the Oort constants at a typical heliocentric distance of 230 pc. The pattern of proper motions for these stars clearly displays the expected effects from differential rotation. I measure the Oort constants to be: A = 15.3 ± 0.4 km s−1 kpc−1, B = −11.9 ± 0.4 km s−1 kpc−1, C = −3.2 ± 0.4 km s−1 kpc−1 and K = −3.3 ± 0.6 km s−1 kpc−1, with no colour trend over a wide range of stellar populations. These first confident measurements of C and K clearly demonstrate the importance of non-axisymmetry for the velocity field of local stars and they provide strong constraints on non-axisymmetric models of the Milky Way.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
