Decoding the Galactic Twirl: The Downfall of Milky Way–Mass Galaxy Rotation Curves in the FIRE Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation curve found a sharp decline at around 15–20 kpc from the center of the Galaxy, suggesting that the Galactic dark matter halo is much less massive than predicted by other dynamical tracers.

Newtonian Gravity and Galaxy Rotation Curves: An Axisymmetric Green's Function Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes
The standard proposal within the context of General relativity and its weak field Newtonian limit for the nature of dark matter is that it consists of dark matter particles of unknown type.

The Nearly Universal Disk Galaxy Rotation Curve

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The universal rotation curve (URC) of disk galaxies was originally proposed to predict the shape and amplitude of any rotation curve (RC) based solely on photometric data.

Perfect fluid dark matter: a viability test with galaxy rotation curves

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The anomalous rotation curves of galaxies provide compelling evidence for dark matter, yet its fundamental nature and distribution remain key unresolved issues in astrophysics.

Modeling the Mass Distribution and Gravitational Potential of Nearby Disk Galaxies: Implications for the Interstellar Medium Dynamical Equilibrium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We characterize stellar, gas, and dark matter mass distributions for 17 nearby massive disk galaxies from the PHANGS sample. This allows us to compute the gravitational potential that vertically confines the interstellar gas and determines its ...

Declining rotation curves in interacting galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
A declining rotation curve was recently found for the galaxy NGC 3521 by HI synthesis telescope observations (Casertano and van Gorkom 1991). From a comparison of the shapes of rotation curves for a larger sample of galaxies Casertano and van Gorkom ...

Rotation curves velocities obtained by warm low-density plasma simulating dark halos and “dark matter”

open access: yesAIP Advances
The free electron model with Boltzmann statistics for spherical low-density plasmas is developed further, with asymptotic relations obtaining the density of electrons, mass densities, and the potentials of such plasmas.

Diverse Rotation Curves of Galaxies in a Simulated Universe: The Observed Dependence on Stellar Mass and Morphology Reproduced

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to study the rotation curves of galaxies in the local universe. To do that, we first select the galaxies with 9.4

A Large-scale Ring Galaxy at z = 2.2 Revealed by JWST/NIRCam: Kinematic Observations and Analytical Modelling

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A unique galaxy at z = 2.2, zC406690, has a striking clumpy large-scale ring structure that persists from rest-frame UV to near-infrared, yet has an ordered rotation and lies on the star formation main sequence.

Optical Rotation Curves Of Distant Galaxies : [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
ng V and I photometry, disk and bulge deconvolutions, and galaxy type, orientation, and inclination) have been observed with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRIS) on the Keck 10m telescope.
