We report our measurement of the trigonometric distance and proper motion IRAS 20056+3350, obtained from the annual parallax of H2O masers. Our distance of D = 4.69 +0.65-0.51 kpc, which is more than two times larger than the near kinematic distance adopted in the literature, places IRAS 20056+3350 at the leading tip of the Local arm, and proximal to the Solar circle. Using our distance we re-evaluate past observations to reveal IRAS 20056+3350 as a site of massive star formation at a young stage of evolution. This result is consistent with the spectral energy distribution of the source evaluated with published photometric data from UKIDSS, WISE, AKARI, IRAS and sub-millimetre continuum. Both analytical approaches reveal the luminosity of the region to be 2.4 x 10^4 Lo, and suggest that IRAS 20056+3350 is forming an embedded star of 16 Mo. We estimated the proper motion of IRAS 20056+3350 to be ($mu_{alpha}cosdelta$, $mu_{delta}$) = ($-2.62pm0.33$, $-5.65pm0.52$) mas yr$^{-1}$ from the group motion of H$_{2}$O masers, and use our results to estimate the angular velocity of Galactic rotation at the Galactocentric distance of the Sun, $Omega_{0} = 28.71pm0.63$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, which is consistent with the values obtained for other tangent point and Solar circle objects.
We report the results of VLBI observations of H$_{2}$O masers in the IRAS 20143+3634 star forming region using VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astronomy). By tracking masers for a period of over two years we measured a trigonometric parallax of $pi = 0.367 pm 0.037$ mas, corresponding to a source distance of $D = 2.72 ^{+0.31}_{-0.25}$ kpc and placing it in the Local spiral arm. Our trigonometric distance is just 60% of the previous estimation based on radial velocity, significantly impacting the astrophysics of the source. We measured proper motions of $-2.99 pm 0.16$ mas yr$^{-1}$ and $-4.37 pm 0.43$ mas yr$^{-1}$ in R.A. and Decl. respectively, which were used to estimate the peculiar motion of the source as $(U_{s},V_{s},W_{s}) = (-0.9 pm 2.9, -8.5 pm 1.6, +8.0 pm 4.3)$ km s$^{-1}$ for $R_0=8$ kpc and $Theta_0=221$ km s$^{-1}$, and $(U_{s},V_{s},W_{s}) = (-1.0 pm 2.9, -9.3 pm 1.5, +8.0 pm 4.3)$ km s$^{-1}$ for $R_0=8.5$ kpc and $Theta_0=235$ km s$^{-1}$. IRAS 20143+3634 was found to be located near the tangent point in the Cygnus direction. Using our observations we derived the angular velocity of Galactic rotation of the local standard of rest (LSR), $Omega_{0} = 27.3 pm 1.6$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, which is consistent with previous values derived using VLBI astrometry of SFRs at the tangent points and Solar circle. It is higher than the value recommended by the IAU of $Omega_{0} = 25.9$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ which was calculated using the Galactocentric distance of the Sun and circular velocity of the LSR.
