Density Profiles of 51 Galaxies from Parameter-Free Inverse Models of Their Measured Rotation Curves

Spiral galaxies and their rotation curves have key characteristics of differentially spinning objects. Oblate spheroid shapes are a consequence of spin and reasonably describe galaxies, indicating that their matter is distributed in gravitationally interacting homeoidal shells. Here, previously publ...
