摘要: We report trigonometric parallaxes for the sources NGC 7538 and Cep A, corresponding to distances of 2.65+(0.12)(-0.11) 0.70+(0.04)(-0.04) kpc, respectively. The distance is considerably smaller than its kinematic places it in Perseus spiral arm. A also "Local" arm or spur. Combining proper motions with observed radial velocities gives location full space motion star-forming regions. find significant deviations from circular galactic orbits these sources: both show large peculiar (greater 10 km s(-1)) counter rotation has a comparable toward Galactic center.
