i. Analyzing the HI data with two methods for exploring of the outer rotation curve. ii. We present the overall rotation curve (from 0.3R 0 to 2.5R 0 ). iii.

1. Introduction iii:Inner Rotation axisymmetry circular orbit. Assumptions of axisymmetry and circular orbit. So, D, Vt, and Vr are described by below equations. ( 現代の天文学：銀河Ⅱ ) The radial velocity along a line of sight becomes maximum at the tangential point. There have been some observations (CO, HI, etc.) for Inner Rotation.

1. Introduction iii:Outer Rotation There is no tangential point. Distance measuring (e.g., photmetric distance) is necessary. HII regions Observations (photmetric distance). (e.g., Brand, Blitz (1993)) Planetary nebulae observations. (e.g., Schneider, Terzian (1983)) but,, There is large uncertainty. ∵ i)An error in the estimate of the distance.

2-4. Fitting and Uncertainty Estimate 2. Derivation of Outer Rotation Curve ・ Both Δb and Tb were averaged between the northern part and the southern part of the disk, and averaged every 2.5°longitude interval. Δb result (Merriefield, 1992) Δb l R/R 0 =1.68(outer region) R/R 0 =0.85 (inner region) flat Observation The difference between flat and observation indicates that R of observation is larger than that of flat. If: Θ 0 =220km/s The result is in agreement with the tangential method. Θ=221km/s

W でのデータを作る ↓R0/R can be determined. Θ also can be determined.

2-4. Fitting and Uncertainty Estimate 2. Derivation of Outer Rotation Curve ・ Both Δb and Tb were averaged between the northern part and the southern part of the disk, and averaged every 2.5°longitude interval. Tb result (Petrovskaya &Teerikorpi, 1986) l Sin^2 (l) ξ R/R 0 =1.14 There are large uncertainties. R/R 0 =1.63

2-4. Fitting and Uncertainty Estimate 2. Derivation of Outer Rotation Curve Results both (Merriefiled, 1992) and (Petrovskaya &Teerikorpi, 1986) Summary Merrifield’s method is better. These results are consistent with each other within the errors.

3. Overall Rotation Curve of the Galaxy ・ We compare rotation curve obtained by Marrifield’s method with those obtained by various method. Marriefield’s method: Filled open circle ORC Brand & Blitz 1993: HII regions Schneider & Terzian (1983) Planetary nebulae Merrifield’s method has the smallest error and the largest coverage of the galacto-centric radius.

4. Discussion Inner: (Fich et al. 1989) Outer: Merriefield’s method Overall rotation curves of the Galaxy R 0 =8.5kpc, Θ 0 =220[km/s] 〃, Θ 0 <200[km/s] Outer rotation depends strongly on the galactic constants. Something extra My ORC research with VERA would result in most precisely Outer Rotation Curve. (??) (laugh) There are uncertainties in outer rotation even Merrifield’s. Fin.
