Abstract:
    In order to study the streaming motions of miras in the Solar
    neighborhood, we newly surveyed 379 red variables in the SiO maser
    lines at 42.821 and 43.122GHz with the Nobeyama 45m radio telescope.
    Accurate radial velocities were obtained for 229 (220 new) detected
    stars. The sample was selected from optical variables found by new
    automated surveys: the Northern Sky Variability Survey and the All Sky
    Automated Survey. The new sample consists of "bluer" objects
    compared with those observed in the previous SiO surveys. The
    distances to the objects were estimated using the period-luminosity
    relation, and they are mostly less than 3kpc from the Sun. The
    longitude-velocity diagram reveals three prominent groups of stars
    deviant from circular galactic rotation with a flat rotation curve. In
    addition to the Hercules group of stars, which was studied before, we
    found two new deviant groups: one toward the Perseus arm and the other
    toward the Sagittarius arm. These two groups both exhibit anomalous
    motions toward the galactic center, which seem to be consistent with
    the noncircular motions of these spiral arms found in recent VLBI
    proper-motion measurements for maser gas clumps.

Description:
    The observations were made with the 45m radio telescope at Nobeyama
    in 2009 March, 2010 March-May, and 2010 December-2011 January in
    the SiO J=1-0 v=1 and 2 transitions at 43.122 and 42.821GHz,
    respectively. A few data taken before 2009 were also added for the
    present analysis.
