2 00 5 Presence of exotic matter in the Cooperstock and Tieu galaxy model
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the presence of an additional singular thin disk in the recent General Relativistic model of galactic gravitational field proposed by Cooperstock and Tieu. The physical variables of the disk’s energy-momentum tensor are calculated. We show that the disk is made of exotic matter, either cosmic strings or struts with negative energy density.

Comment on the Relativistic Galactic Model by Cooperstock and Tieu
It has recently been suggested that observed galaxy rotation curves can be accounted for by general relativity without recourse to dark-matter halos. A number of objections have been raised, which have been addressed by the authors. Here, the calculation of tangential velocity is questioned. Comment on the Relativistic Galactic Model by Cooperstock and Tieu 2 1. Galactic tangential velocity Coo...
متن کاملComments on the Cooperstock-Tieu Galaxy Model
The recently proposed Cooperstock-Tieu galaxy model claims to explain the flat rotation curves without dark matter. The purpose of this note is to show that this model is internally inconsistent and thus cannot be considered a valid solution. Moreover, by making the solution consistent the ability to explain the flat rotation curves is lost. Subject headings: galaxies: kinematics and dynamics-g...
متن کامل6 Comment on “ General Relativity Resolves Galactic Rotation Without Exotic Dark Matter
The general relativistic model of Cooperstock & Tieu, which attempts to fit rotation curves of spiral galaxies without invoking dark matter, is tested empirically using observations of the Milky Way. In particular, predictions for the mass density in the solar neighbourhood and the vertical density distribution at the position of the Sun are compared with observations. It is shown that the mode...
متن کاملRelativity Resolves Galactic Rotation Without Exotic Dark Matter
A galaxy is modeled as a stationary axially symmetric pressure-free fluid in general relativity. For the weak gravitational fields under consideration, the field equations and the equations of motion ultimately lead to one linear and one non-linear equation relating the angular velocity to the fluid density. It is shown that the rotation curves for the Milky Way, NGC 3031, NGC 3198 and NGC 7331...
متن کاملExact General Relativistic Rotating Disks Immersed in Rotating Dust Generated from van Stockum Solutions
A class of exact general relativistic rotating thick disks surrounded by rotating dust is constructed by applying the “displace, cut, fill and reflect” method on the van Stockum class of metrics. Two particular solutions are considered in detail. We find that the disks have annular regions with negative energy density and heat flow is present in most of the radial extension of the disk. It is s...
