Errors in equations for galaxy rotation speeds
Kenneth F Nicholson
Abstract
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 is then presented. The new equations allow easy determination of galaxy mass distribution from the rotation profile with no need for dark matter or any knowledge of galaxy surface light.
