Rotation curves
● Keplerian rotation: if most of the mass is interior
to R (as per solar system), v ~ R-½
● rigid-body rotation: like a spinning disk, v ~ R (i.e., ω = v/R = constant)
● flat rotation: implies M(R) ~ R, or ρ(R) ~ R-2
● better model is ρ(R) = C0/(a² + R²),where C0 = 4.6 x 108 M(sun)/kpc
a = 2.8 kpc
