摘要
We observe the density wave's angular pattern speed ohm(p) to be near 12-17kms(-1)kpc(-1), by the separation between a typical optical Hii region (from the spiral arm's dust lane) and using a Hii-evolution time model T-Hii to yield its relative speed, and independently by the separation between a typical radio maser (from the spiral arm's dust lane) with a maser model. The assumption of a fixed circular rotational speed of the gas and stars with galactic radius is employed (neglecting spiral perturbation at mid-radii, nuclear bar influence at small radii, and tidal effects at large radii).
