Abstract
Based on published data, we have produced a sample of 256 radio sources whose trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions were measured by VLBI. This sample contains Galactic masers associated with massive protostars and stars in active star-forming regions. It also includes young low-mass stars from the Gould Belt region whose radio observations were performed in continuum. Based on this, most complete sample of sources to date, we have estimated the velocities \(U_{\odot}\), \(V_{\odot}\), \(W_{\odot}\) and the parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation \(\Omega_{0},\Omega^{(1)}_{0},\ldots,\Omega^{(4)}_{0}\) and obtained a new estimate of the distance from the Sun to the Galactic center, \(R_{0}=8.15_{-0.20}^{+0.04}\) kpc. The parameters of the Galactic spiral density wave have been found from the series of radial, \(V_{R}\), and residual tangential, \(\Delta V_{\textrm{circ}}\), velocities of stars. The amplitudes of the radial and tangential velocity perturbations are \(f_{R}=7.0\pm 0.9\) km s\({}^{-1}\) and \(f_{\theta}=3.8\pm 1.1\) km s\({}^{-1}\), the perturbation wavelengths are \(\lambda_{R}=2.3\pm 0.2\) kpc and \(\lambda_{\theta}=2.0\pm 0.4\) kpc, and the Sun’s phases in the spiral density wave are \((\chi_{\odot})_{R}=-163^{\circ}\pm 9^{\circ}\) and \((\chi_{\odot})_{\theta}=-137^{\circ}\pm 10^{\circ}\) for the adopted four-armed spiral pattern.
