Place of the Radcliffe Wave in the Local System
Abstract
A review of publications devoted to the study of the characteristics of the Radcliffe wave has been given. The advent of mass measurements of radial velocities of stars has recently led to a number of interesting results obtained from the analysis of spatial velocities of stars and open star clusters. An important place in the study has been given to issues related to the clarification of the direct or indirect influence of magnetic fields on the process of formation of the Radcliffe wave. The hypothesis of Parker instability of the galactic magnetic field as one of the reasons for the formation of wave-type inhomogeneities in the galactic disk has been discussed.
