The Mystery of Dark Matter: the Galactic Rotation Curve for the Milky Way

Kyle McGinty, David Brotman

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Dark matter is one of the most mysterious presences known to science. Its existence can only be deduced from other data. One of those forms of data is the galactic rotation curve. In order to ascertain the presence of dark matter in our own galaxy, velocities and distances to the galactic center for selected points will be made. Once observations and calculations are complete, the results indicate the existence of dark matter in the Milky Way Galaxy.
