Accounting for anomalous velocity curve in galaxies as a possible frame dragging effect

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2020-10-05 v2

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of accounting for the observed anomalous velocities of stars in galaxies to be a result of a dynamic prescription for having a galaxy generate and prescribe its own inertial frame. It is demonstrated that within observational uncertainties, an overall rotation of an inertial frame dragged by a galaxy is a comfortable fit to the observed anomalous velocity curves. A case for looking for a natural law for prescribing an inertial frame by a mass distribution over a finite (galaxy size) range is made out.
