Galaxies with Declining Rotation Curves

Abstract

A sample of 22 spiral galaxies compiled from published data is studied. The galaxy rotation curves pass through a maximum distance of more than ~1 kpc from the center with a subsequent decrease in the rotation velocity. The galaxy position in the Tully–Fisher (TF) and baryonic Tully–Fisher (BTF) diagrams show that the maximum rotation velocities are located on the same sequence with other galaxies, while the velocities at the disk periphery for some galaxies are significantly lower than the expected values for a given mass or luminosity. Thus, the decrease in the rotation curve can be associated with a reduced contribution of the dark halo to the rotation velocity. For seven galaxies with the longest rotation curves, the disk mass was estimated to be with the dark halo (Newtonian model) and without the halo (modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) model). In four of the galaxies, the MOND model encounters difficulties in interpreting the rotation curve: in order to be consistent with the observations, the model parameter \({{a}_{0}}\) should differ significantly from the expected value \({{a}_{0}} \sim {{10}^{{ - 8}}}\) cm/s2, while the disk mass estimate exceeds the value based on IR photometry and maximum disk model. The conflict with MOND is the greatest for NGC 157.
