Galactic Rotation Parameters Based on Stars from Activ Star-Forming Regions with Data from the Gaia DR2 Catalogue

We have studied a sample of more than 25 000 young stars with proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. The relative errors of their parallaxes do not exceed 10\%. The selection of stars belonging to active star-forming regions was made by Marton et al. based on data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue by invoking infrared measurements from the WISE and Planck catalogues. Low-mass T Tauri stars constitute the majority of sample stars. The following parameters of the angular velocity of Galactic rotation have been found from them: $Ω_0 =28.40\pm0.11$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, $Ω^{'}_0=-3.933\pm0.033$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2}$ and $Ω^{''}_0=0.804\pm0.040$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-3}$. The Oort constants are $A=15.73\pm0.32$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ and $B=-12.67\pm0.34$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, while the circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center is $V_0=227\pm4$ km s$^{-1}$ for the adopted Galactocentric distance of the Sun $R_0=8.0\pm0.15$ kpc.
