Values of constants defining coordinate transformations and velocity corrections.

Galactic pole, longitude node
			a

Peculiar velocity Sun
U = 10.0 km s^-1	V = 5.3 km s^-1	W = 7.2 km s^-1	b

Galactic rotation
v_R(R₀) = v_R(R) = 220 km s^-1			b

Distance Galactic center, scales pulsar distribution
R₀ = 8.5 kpc	h = 0.33 kpc	H = 1.7 kpc	c

Notes. For explanation of these constants see Appendices A and B. a: from Perryman et al. 1997, b: from Dehnen & Binney 1998, c: from Verbiest et al. (2012).
