Derivation of a rotation curve model based on time of events theory and its application on samples of several spiral galaxies by Azeez, Jazeel H., Fadhil, Sadeem Abbas, Zamri Zainal Abidin

“…The derived equation showed an excellent agreement with experimental results for five galaxies. The findings showed that the bulge plays a limited role for the galaxies with large extensions like IC 2574 and NGC 3198, where the dark matter in the halo region controls and determines the shape of the diagram of the rotation curves in these galaxies. …”
