Dynamical models for dusty disk galaxies
Abstract
Disk galaxies contain a large amount of interstellar dust, which affects the projection of kinematic quantities. We investigate in detail the effects of dust extinction on the mean projected velocity and the projected velocity dispersion. We use our results to construct a general strategy to determine the dynamical structure of disk galaxies, with the aim to constrain their mass distribution and dynamical history.
