Recent evidence on the rotation curve of our galaxy for R > RO
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
Studies of the rotation curve of our Galaxy at galactocentric radii, R, greater than the solar distance, Ro, from the center require the use of conventional optical techniques since the distances to as well as the radial velocities of Population I objects are needed.
