A 21-cm line study of NGC 5963, an Sc galaxy with a low-surface brightness disk

Albert Bosma, J. M. van der Hulst, E. Athanassoula

Abstract

L'emission HI a 21 cm de longueur d'onde coincide avec l'image optique de la galaxie spirale NGC 5963. Le champ des vitesses est legerement devie par rapport a l'axe de symetrie et la courbe de rotation correspond a une galaxie Sc 2 fois plus brillante. Un modele de masse composite permet d'etudier la courbe de rotation et de calculer une loi de rotation pour le halo sombre
