Velocity Analysis
Galaxy Rotation Curves
This visualization shows the relationship between orbital velocity and distance from the galactic center. The data demonstrates how dark matter affects the rotation curves of galaxies:
- •Expected velocity (without dark matter)
- •Actual velocity (with dark matter)
Interactive Graph
Use the graph below to explore how dark matter affects galactic rotation curves. The data shows the discrepancy between predicted and observed velocities:
Key Findings
- •Outer regions show higher velocities than predicted
- •Dark matter halo extends beyond visible matter
- •Rotation curves remain flat at large distances
- •Dark matter distribution affects overall dynamics
