Recovered Ωp for two tests. The y-axis represents the value of the pattern speed, and the x-axis represents the minimum age of the stellar objects considered for the computation; hence, for x = 10 we consider objects with age ≥10 Myr. The dash-dotted lines represent the imposed value and dots represent the recovered value. The dotted red line shows the mean circular velocity of the stellar objects. Panel a: Test 1. Imposed Ωp = 50 km s−1 kpc−1. Blue dots show the recovered Ωp value when considering the present-day spiral arm defined by the HMSFRs, while green dots represent the recovered value when the present-day arm is defined with 10 Myr clusters. Panel b: Test 2. Pattern speed obtained for the cases of Ωp = 20 and 50 km s−1 kpc−1: orange and blue, respectively. Dots show the recovered value, including error bars.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
