Abstract

The proper motions of OB-associations computed using the old (1997, Cat. <I/239>) and new (2008, Cat. <I/311>) reductions of the Hipparcos data are in a good agreement with each other. The Galactic rotation curve derived from the analysis of line-of-sight velocities and proper motions of OB-associations is almost flat in the 3-kpc neighborhood of the Sun. The angular rotation velocity at the solar distance is Omega_0_=31(+/-1)km/s/kpc. The standard deviation of the velocities of OB-associations from the rotation curve is sigma=7.2km/s. The distance scale for OB associations by Blaha and Humpreys (1989AJ.....98.1598B) should be shortened by 10-20%. The residual velocities of OB-associations calculated for the new and old reductions differ, on average, by 3.5km/s. The mean residual velocities of OB-associations in the stellar-gas complexes depend slightly on the data reduction employed.
