LSR - local standard of rest
More generally, if the Galactic potential is not axis-symmetric(e.g., because of the Galactic bar), then the LSR orbit is oval.

Solar motion: sun moving “upwards” at7 km/s wrt other stars

The residual solar motion wrt the average of local stars is
U! = −10 km s−1
V! = 5 km s−1
Currently we are near the mid-plane
Some say V = 15 km/s!
W! = 7 km s−1

Oort limit - imagine the disk as a plane parallel slab
Are we happywith these sums?

How might we get R0?

Renzo’s rule: When you see a feature in the light,you see a corresponding feature in the rotation curve.

Fitting the bumps & wiggles at small radiisuccessful in predicting the rotation curve
at large radii.
