The Universal Rotation Curve of Spiral Galaxies
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 match properly that of the Friedman space. With the use of such ”topological” bias, we construct the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) for spirals ...
متن کاملPulsar rotation measures and the magnetic structure of our Galaxy
We have obtained 63 rotation measures (RMs) from polarization observations of southern pulsars, of which 54 are new measurements and 3 are varied from previous values. The new pulsar RM data at high Galactic latitudes are mostly consistent with the antisymmetric RM distribution found previously. For the Galactic disc, evidence for a field reversal near the Perseus arm, and possibly another beyo...
متن کاملThe rotation curve of spiral galaxies and its cosmological implications
We review the topic of rotation curves of spiral galaxies emphasizing the standard interpretation as evidence for the existence of dark matter halos. Galaxies other than spirals and late-type dwarfs may also possess great amounts of dark matter, and therefore ellipticals, dwarf spirals, lenticulars and polar ring galaxies are also considered. Furthermore, other methods for determining galactic ...
متن کاملThe Large-Scale Magnetic Field Structure of Our Galaxy: Efficiently Deduced from Pulsar Rotation Measures
In this review, I will first introduce possible methods to probe the large-scale magnetic fields in our Galaxy and discuss their limitations. The magnetic fields in the Galactic halo, mainly revealed by the sky distribution of rotation measures of extragalactic radio sources, probably have a global structure of a twisted dipole field. The large-scale field structure in the Galactic disk has bee...
متن کاملMass of the Galaxy Inferred from Outer Rotation Curve
Using an outer rotation curve of the Galaxy, we explore the galactic constants and the mass of the Galaxy. We show that Θ0 of 200 km s −1 is more favorable than the IAU standard value of 220 km s, and also show that if Θ0 is smaller than 207 km s −1 the rotation curve beyond 2R0 is declining in Keplerian fashion. In the case of Θ0= 200 km s −1 and R0= 7.6 kpc, the total mass and the extent of t...
