Probing for Dark Matter within Spiral Galaxy Disks
We explore the relative importance of the stellar mass density as compared to the inner dark halo, using the observed gas kinematics throughout the disk of the spiral galaxy NGC 4254 (Messier 99). We perform hydrodynamical simulations of the gas flow for a sequence of gravitational potentials in whi...
