Errors in equations for galaxy rotation speeds
Kenneth F Nicholson
Shown are the errors and difficulties of the equations used for galaxy rotation speeds in the book "Galactic Dynamics" (Binney and Tremaine). A usable and accurate set of equations…
Galactic mass distribution without dark matter or modified Newtonian mechanics
Kenneth F. Nicholson
Given the dimensions (including thickness) of a galaxy, and its rotation profile, a method is shown that finds the mass and density distributions in the defined envelope that will…
Galaxy Mass Distributions from Rotation Speeds by Closed-Loop Convergence
Kenneth F. Nicholson
Given the dimensions (including thickness) and rotation speeds for an axisymmetric galaxy, a closed-loop iterative method is designed to find the total mass, density, and surface-m…
Galaxy mass distributions for some extreme orbital-speed Profiles
Kenneth F. Nicholson
Extreme speed profiles, that are impossible to anayze correctly using the usual methods, are shown to be easily handled using the methods developed previously by Nicholson (astro-p…
Disk-galaxy density distribution from orbital speeds using Newton's law, version 1.1
Kenneth F. Nicholson
Given the dimensions(including thickness) of an axisymmetric galaxy, Newton's law is used in integral form to find the density distributions required to match a wide range of orbit…
Disk-galaxy density distribution from orbital speeds using Newton's law
Kenneth F. Nicholson
Given the dimensions (including thickness) of an axisymmetric galaxy, Newton's law is used in integral form to find the density distributions required to match a wide range of orbi…
