We have presented in this paper an up-to-date compilation of all
known galactic PNe radial velocities. After averaging all available data,
90
of the kinematics data of the 867 PNe of the catalogue have
accuracies better than 20 kms-1. We evaluated the kinematical
parameters of the PNe differential galactic rotation by a least-square method
and established the rotation curve of the Galaxy for 3.2<R<12.8 kpc.
We found no significal trend for an increasing in the external rotation curve.
The rotation of the bulge is found to be (9.9
1.3)
km
s
deg-1.
We are deeply indebted to Bjorn Stenholm for his participation in some of the observations. It's a great pleasure to thank Sylvie Beaulieu for generously providing us her bulge velocities before their publication. We also thank François Cuisinier for making some of his data available to us.
