A corotation radius is a key characteristic of disk galaxies that is essential to determine the angular speed of the spiral structure Ωp,and therefore understand its nature.In the literature,there are plenty of methods to estimate this value,but do these measurements have any consistency?In this work,we collected a data set of corotation radius measurements for 547 galaxies,300 Of which had at least two values.An initial analysis reveals that most objects have rather inconsistent corotation radius positions.Moreover,a significant fraction of galactic disks is distinguished by a large error coverage and almost uniform distribution of measurements.These findings do not have any relation to spiral type,Hubble classification,or presence of a bar.Among other reasons,obtained results could be explained by the transient nature of spirals in a considerable part of galaxies.We have made our collected data sample publicly available,and have demonstrated on one example how it could be useful for future research by investigating a winding time value for a sample of galaxies with possible multiple spiral arm patterns.
