Abstract:
The observations in the 28SiO J=1-0 v=1, J=1-0 v=2 lines and the 29SiO
J=1-0, v=0 lines were simultaneously made toward 181 color-selected
IRAS sources in the outer disk of the Galaxy (at longitudes between 90
deg and 250 deg). The 28SiO lines were detected in 63 sources (56 new)
and the 29SiO line in 11 sources (9 new). Most of the detections are
optically variable stars, mainly Mira-type variables and a few
semiregular variables. The detection rate (35%) is much lower than
that of the bulge survey performed by the same observational system -
the 45m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory. The lower detection
rate of SiO maser emission is partly attributed to the increase of
contaminations by stars with C-rich circumstellar envelopes and young
stellar objects in the outer disk sample. The kinematical implications
of the observational results are also discussed. The luminosity
distances to the SiO maser sources are estimated from their IRAS
fluxes at 12um and colors. By combining the SiO radial velocity and
the luminosity distance, the rotation curve of the outer Galactic disk
is found to be slightly falling within the Galactocentric distance
between 8.5 and 12kpc. The sources located within 20deg from the
Galactic anticenter direction are used to check for a peculiar motion
of the local standard of rest.
