A New Estimate of the Local Standard of Rest from Data on Young Objects
To estimate the peculiar velocity of the Sun with respect to the Local Standard of Rest (LSR), we use young objects in the Solar neighborhood with distance measurement errors within 10%–15%. These objects include the nearest Hipparcos O–B2.5 type stars, masers with VLBI trigonometric parallaxes, and...
