βͺ Abstractβ Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, evolution, and formation of spiral galaxies. We describe various methods to derive rotation curves and r
