Rotation curves of high-luminosity spiral galaxies and the rotation curve of our galaxy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979 Rotation curves of high luminosity spiral galaxies are flat, to distances as great as r=49 kpc. This implies a significant mass at large r. Rotational velocities increase about 20 km/s across a spiral arm, as predicted by the density wave theory. By analogy, it is suggested that our Galaxy has a flat rotation curve out to r∼60 kpc, with V ∼ constant at

Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2001 ▪ Abstract Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, evolution, and formation of spiral galaxies. We describe various methods to derive rotation curves and review the results obtained.

Uncertainties in galaxy rotation curves [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Assessing the likelihood that the rotation curve of a galaxy matches predictions from galaxy formation simulations requires that the uncertainties in the circular speed as a function of radius derived from the observational data be statistically robust. Few uncertainties presented in the literature meet this requirement. In this

The universal rotation curve of spiral galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2006 Abstract The observed strong dark-to-luminous matter coupling is described by a bias relation between visible and dark matter sources. We discuss the bias which emerges in the case where the topological structure of the Universe at very large distances does not properly match that of the Friedman space. With the use of such ‘topological’

Dark matter and rotation curves of stars in galaxies [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2001 The dark matter accretion theory (around a central body) of the author on the basis of his 5-dimensional Projective Unified Field Theory (PUFT) is applied to the orbital motion of stars around the center of the Galaxy. The departure of the motion from Newtonian mechanics leads to approximately flat rotation curves being in rough accordance with the ...

Galaxies with Declining Rotation Curves [PDF]
Astronomy Reports, 2020 A sample of 22 spiral galaxies compiled from published data is studied. The galaxy rotation curves pass through a maximum distance of more than $\sim 1$ kpc from the center with a subsequent decrease in the rotation velocity. The galaxy position in the Tully-Fisher (TF) and baryonic Tully-Fisher (BTF) diagrams show that the values of maximum rotation ...

CONSTRAINTS ON THE DECOMPOSITION OF THE ROTATION CURVES OF SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
The Identification of Dark Matter, 2003 I discuss anew how arguments about the internal dynamics of galactic disks set constraints on the otherwise ambiguous decomposition of the rotation curves of spiral galaxies into the contributions by the various constituents of the galaxies. Analyzing the two sample galaxies NGC 3198 and NGC 2985 I conclude from the multiplicities of the spiral arms ...

Rotation Curve of the Galaxy [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1997 Reanalyzing the galactic HI survey data with two methods which make use of the geometry of the galactic disk, we explore the outer rotation curve. In addition to the derivation of the outer rotation curve, we investigate their uncertainties, which have not been established previously.

HI Rotation Curves of Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 The observational evidence on the discrepancy between the mass distribution in galaxies derived from HI rotation curves and that derived from the distribution of light is reviewed. In the outer parts the discrepancy is such that in some galaxies there is at least three times as much dark matter as luminous matter.
