Rapid Calculation of Equatorial Rotation Curves
Abstract
We derive a simple, fast one-dimensional integral for the equatorial rotation curve of a thin disk with surface density Sigma(R) modeled as a spheroid with axis ratio q. The result is simpler than standard expressions even in the limit of an infinitely thin disk (q-->0).
