Distribution of Dark Matter in Polar Ring Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
The discovery of SO galaxies with polar rings makes it possible to directly measure the gravitational potential of a galaxy in three dimensions. Schweizer, Whitmore and Rubin (1983) find a spherical potential in the case of A0136-0801. We have observed three more polar ring galaxies using the 4 meter telescope at CTIO. The following table summarizes the results for these three systems as well as A0136-0801, and figure 1 shows an example of the data.
