This plot shows galactic positions of stars with rotation periods from the TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey (Boyle, Bouma & Mann 2026). The Sun is at the center. In the default (top-down) camera view, the galactic center is 8 kpc to the right, and the direction of galactic rotation is up.

The survey looked at stars with d < 500 pc brighter than T < 16 over most of the sky, except for a small region east of the galactic center. For this plot, we omitted stars with |z|>250 pc.

v_amp is the amplitude of the distance-corrected proper motion vector in units of km/s.

- Left drag: rotate camera.
- Right drag or two-finger drag: pan.
- Scroll/pinch: zoom.
- Clicking "Start velocity step" advances through stars with a tangential velocity range noted in the lower right.
