General relativistic velocity: the alternative to dark matter

F. I. Cooperstock, S. Tieu

We consider the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric ball of dust in the general relativistic weak gravity regime. The velocity of the matter as viewed by external obs…

Galactic Dynamics via General Relativity: A Compilation and New Developments

F. I. Cooperstock, S. Tieu

We consider the consequences of applying general relativity to the description of the dynamics of a galaxy, given the observed flattened rotation curves. The galaxy is modeled as a…

Perspectives on Galactic Dynamics via General Relativity

F. I. Cooperstock, S. Tieu

Responses to questions, comments and criticism of our recent paper "General Relativity Resolves.." are provided. It is emphasized that our model is entirely natural to describe the…

General Relativity Resolves Galactic Rotation Without Exotic Dark Matter

F. I. Cooperstock, S. Tieu

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…

The Energy of a Dynamical Wave-Emitting System in General Relativity

F. I. Cooperstock, S. Tieu

The problem of energy and its localization in general relativity is critically re-examined. The Tolman energy integral for the Eddington spinning rod is analyzed in detail and eval…
