THE MILKY WAY'S CIRCULAR-VELOCITY CURVE BETWEEN 4 AND 14 kpc FROM APOGEE DATA

We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc [lap] R [lap] 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment. We determine the local value of the circular velocity to be V sub(c)(R sub(0)) = 218+ or -6kms super(-1...
