Abstract

We report our measurements of the trigonometric distance and proper motion of IRAS 20056+3350, obtained from the annual parallax of $H_2O$ masers. Our distance of $D=4.69^{+0.65}_{-0.51}kpc$, which is 2.8 times larger than the near kinematic distance adopted in the literature, places IRAS 20056+3350 at the leading tip of the Local arm and proximal to the Solar circle. We estimated the proper motion of IRAS 20056+3350 to be (${\mu}_{\alpha}cos{\delta}$, ${\mu}_{\delta}$) = ($-2.62{\pm}0.33$, $-5.65{\pm}0.52$) $mas\;yr^{-1}$ from the group motion of $H_2O$ masers, and use our results to estimate the angular velocity of Galactic rotation at the Galactocentric distance of the Sun, ${\Omega}_0=29.75{\pm}2.29km\;s^{-1}kpc^{-1}$, which is consistent with the values obtained for other tangent points and Solar circle objects.
