By numerically solving the mass distribution in a rotating disk based on Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, we demonstrate that the observed flat rotation curves for most spiral galaxies correspond to exponentially decreasing mass…

For mature spiral galaxies, the rotation velocities quickly increase from the galactic center and achieve a constant velocity from the core to the periphery. This dynamic behavior is described by models balancing Newtonian gravitational and…

The approximately flat outer parts of spiral galaxy rotation curves are commonly interpreted as evidence for a discrepancy between the observed baryonic mass and the dynamical mass inferred from the measured orbital velocities. In many…

The relaxed motion of stars and gas in galactic discs is well approximated by a rotational velocity that is a function of radial position only, implying that individual components have lost any information about their prior states.…

This paper outlines an exact analytic model for self-gravitating thin disc galaxies with flat rotation curves. It is shown that thin discs of matter alone can support perfectly flat rotation curves under Newtonian gravity, without needing…

The rotation dynamics of spiral galaxies is modeled using a sum of two mass distributions: a spherical bulge and a thin disk. The density functions representing these mass distributions are calculated from the total angular momentum of the…
