Fitting Galaxy Rotation Curves Without Dark Matter
The notion is presented that fitting galaxy rotation curves is possible without the invocation of dark matter. Equations of motion similar to those used to describe the internal motions of terrestrial weather systems are applied to the rotation curves of galaxies. However, due to the four-dimensional nature of the equations, additional terms arise. One of these additional terms is particularly ...
متن کاملGeometric Fitting of Parametric Curves and Surfaces
This paper deals with the geometric fitting algorithms for parametric curves and surfaces in 2-D/3-D space, which estimate the curve/surface parameters by minimizing the square sum of the shortest distances between the curve/surface and the given points. We identify three algorithmic approaches for solving the nonlinear problem of geometric fitting. As their general implementation we describe a...
متن کاملRobust Fitting of Parametric Curves
We consider the problem of fitting a parametric curve to a given point cloud (e.g., measurement data). Least-squares approximation, i.e., minimization of the l2 norm of residuals (the Euclidean distances to the data points), is the most common approach. This is due to its computational simplicity [1]. However, in the case of data that is affected by noise or contains outliers, this is not alway...
متن کاملRotation curve fitting and its fatal attraction to cores in realistically simulated galaxy observations
We study the role of systematic effects in observational studies of the cusp–core problem under the minimum disc approximation using a suite of high-resolution (25-pc softening length) hydrodynamical simulations of dwarf galaxies. We mimic realistic kinematic observations and fit the mock rotation curves with two analytic models commonly used to differentiate cores from cusps in the dark matter...
متن کاملBayesian Galaxy Shape Measurement for Weak Lensing Surveys -I. Methodology and a Fast Fitting Algorithm
The principles of measuring the shapes of galaxies by a model-fitting approach are discussed in the context of shape-measurement for surveys of weak gravitational lensing. It is argued that such an approach should be optimal, allowing measurement with maximal signal-to-noise, coupled with estimation of measurement errors. The distinction between likelihood-based and Bayesian methods is discusse...
