Correcting the rotation curve of spiral galaxies for the non-circular motions induced by a bar
The mass distribution of disk galaxies is usually determined through the use of rotation curves. This determination relies on two key assumptions; that the gas moves on circular orbits and that this motion traces the underlying gravitational potential. In the case of barred spiral galaxies the first...
