Statistics of initial velocities of open clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
Galactic clusters have well organized directions of their velocities at the instant of birth measured with respect to the local circular velocity. Preferential directions survive more than 100 Myrs. This can only be explained by star formation triggered by spiral arms.
