Scalar potential model of galaxy central mass and central velocity dispersion
Abstract
The galaxy central mass and central velocity dispersion have been found to correlate with large scale galaxy parameters for samples of galaxies with a limited range of characteristics. A scalar potential model (SPM) that derived from considerations of galaxy clusters, of redshift, of discrete redshift, of H{\scriptsize{I}} rotation curves (RCs) of spiral galaxies and of RC asymmetry is applied to central region parameters. The and are found to correlate to the host galaxy's and neighboring galaxy's B band luminosity. The sample included galaxies with rising, flat and declining RCs; galaxies with a wide range of characteristics; and galaxies excluded from samples of other studies of relationships. The equations have the same form as the SPM equations for the parameters of the H{\scriptsize{I}} RCs. Because the SPM is consistent with and observations of the sample galaxies, the Sources and Sinks act as monopoles at the center of the galaxies around them. This suggests the outward scalar potential force of a Source holds the from collapse into a supermassive black hole.
