A Reconsideration of the Galactic Constants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Abstract
Whereas the I.A.U. standard values of the constants Ro, ⊙o, A, and B, differ from those currently considered best, the errors of current determinations are still rather large. Although the means of recent determinations lead to a fairly consistent set of values for the four main constants, the agreement may be largely coincidental. However, a case can be made for agreeing on a new pair of standard values for Ro and ⊙o as a matter of practical convenience.
