Comment on the Relativistic Galactic Model by Cooperstock and Tieu

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It has recently been suggested that observed galaxy rotation curves can be accounted for by general relativity without recourse to dark-matter halos. A number of objections have been raised, which have been addressed by the authors. Here, the calculation of tangential velocity is questioned.
