Local Stellar Kinematics and Oort Constants from the LAMOST A-type Stars.

2021 
We estimate the solar peculiar velocities and Oort constants using a sample of 5,627 A-type stars with $d 4\,\rm km\,s^{-1}\,kpc^{-1}$ means that there is a radial velocity gradient in the extended local disk, implying the local disk is in a non-asymmetric potential. Using the derived Oort constants, we derive the local angular velocity $\Omega\,{\approx}\,A-B=28.30\pm1.19\,\rm km\,s^{-1}\,kpc^{-1}$. By using A-type star sample of different volumes, we further try to evaluate the impacts of the ridge pattern in $R$-$V_{\phi}$ plane on constraining the solar motions and Oort constants. As the volume becomes larger toward the anti-center direction, the values of $A$ and $B$ become larger (implying a steeper slope of the local rotation curve) and the value of $V_\odot$ becomes smaller probably caused by the ridge structure and its signal increasing with distance.
