Decomposition of the rotation curves of distant field galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We present decompositions of the rotation curves of distant spiral galaxies into contributions due to their bulges, disks, and putative dark haloes. In order to set constraints on the ambiguities of the decompositons we interpret the morphology of the spiral structures quantitatively in the framework of density wave theory. Galaxy models constrained in such a way show that the distant galaxies, which are much younger than nearby galaxies, are indeed also imbedded in dark haloes as expected from contemporary theories of the cosmogony of galaxies.

Evaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
متن کامل1 99 6 Optical Rotation Curves of Distant Field Galaxies
Spatially resolved velocity profiles are presented for nine faint field galaxies in the redshift range 0.1 ∼ < z ∼ < 1, based on moderate–resolution spectroscopy obtained with the Keck 10 m telescope. These data were augmented with high–resolution Hubble Space Telescope images from WFPC2, which provided V and I photometry, galaxy type, orientation, and inclination. The effects of seeing, slit w...

Allowing the energy of a gravitational field to serve partially as its own source allows gravitating bodies to exhibit stronger fields, as if they were more massive. Depending on degree of compaction of the body, the field could be one to five times larger than the Newtonian field. This is a comfortable range of increase in field strength and may prove to be of convenience in the study of vel...
متن کاملConstraints on the Decomposition of the Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies
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 and the values of the Q disk stability parame...
متن کاملKinematics of Distant Galaxies from Keck
DEEP is a two-phase spectral survey of faint field galaxies with the Keck Telescopes. The goals include exploring galaxy formation and evolution , mapping distant large scale structures, and constraining cosmology. DEEP, since its inception in the early 1990’s, has been distinguished by an emphasis on studying the kinematics and masses of distant galaxies. The major DEEP survey in the second ph...
