Graphs of galaxy rotation curves?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding sources for graphs of galaxy rotation curves that include both observed and expected data along with galaxy names and labeled axes. A suggestion is made to search "galactic rotation curves" on Google for relevant graphs. Initially, the user struggled to find comprehensive graphs, only locating those for NGC 3198 and M33. However, after further searching, they found the search to be fruitful. The conversation highlights the importance of thorough research in locating specific astronomical data.

Can anyone direct me to a good source of graphs of galaxy rotation curves. I need graphs that show both the observed curve data points and the expected curve along with the names of the galaxies and labeled axis.

Thanks

Just google on "galactic rotation curves" and you'll get what you want.

Thanks, I had done that, but was only able to find 2 graphs, NGC 3198 and M33 that had both the observed data and the expected data.

EDIT: I didn't look deep enough, actually this search proved fruitful, thanks.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
