摘要
We use line-of-sight velocities of more than 4000 red clump stars observed from MMT/Hectospec to derive the Galactic rotation curve between 8 and 13 kpc in Galactocentric radius to better than 10 kms(-1). A three-component (bulge+disk+halo) with an additional massive ring of 1.66x10(10) M-circle dot at about 11.6 kpc provides an excellent fit with the observation.
