Rotation Curves of Spiral GalaxieS: I
History:
Rotation of spiral nebulae was first noticed by Wolf and by Slipher in 1914. Pease (1916,1918) made first measurements of what we now call the “rotation curve” in the nuclear regions of M31 and M104 (”Sombrero”). Before ∼1975 it was believed that after reaching maximum the rotation velocity goes down as V ∽ R-1/2. Mass of a galaxy was taken as (Brandt’s 1960 model): ! Mtot = (3/2)3/n V2maxRmax/G, !where n is a parameter in the following approximation for the rotation curve: ! Vrot = Vmax(R/Rmax) /[1/3+2/3*(R/Rmax)n]3/2n
!The situation changed around 1975 when 21cm measurements showed that the velocity Vrot does not decline beyond optical radius. Rubin, Ford, and Thonnard (1978) pushed optical observations to larger radii with the same basic conclusion as in 21cm: flat rotaton curves. For review of early results see Faber & Gallagher (1979, ARAS 17). F&G gave for spiral galaxies within the Holmberg radius (26.5mag/arcsec): ! (M/L)B ≈ (M/L)V ≈ 5 for Sb spirals. (M/L) decreases for later types.

Position-velocity diagram: distribution of velocities along the line of sight
Correction is required for inclined galaxies. Real velocity is larger than the position of maximum of intensity along line of sight.

Note that maximum velocity is not at the maximum of the signal. This typically ignored, but corrections can be substantial.

Rotation of stars and gas.
Stars rotate slower, but the difference is small (asymmetric drift)
In some cases stars and gas counter rotate.

Persic & Salucci (1996)
Properties of rotation curves. Wide range abs. magnitudes . Galaxies are supposed to be either “bulgless” or late type spirals.
Every rotation curve was normalized to optical radius Ropt - radius containing 83% of the total light. For exp. disk Ropt = 3.2Rd
Average rotation curve depends on abs.magnitude of galaxy.

Tendencies:
!✦ Galaxies with larger L have larger Vmax ✦ Galaxies with larger L have shorter (in relative units) radii of
solid-body (or rising V) rotation ✦ Earlier Hubble-type galaxies rotate faster for the same L ✦ Fraction of DM inside optical radius increases with decreasing
Vmax ✦ DM is less concentrated than the luminous matter
