Problem set 5 for ASTR 222: From Stars to Cosmology

Due in class Wed Feb 23

Prof Mihos has a set of Java applets on his web page. Using the Rotcurve applet (http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/JavaLab/RotcurveWeb/main.html), do questions 1 thru 4 in the Lab to fit galaxy rotation curves with models of disk and dark halo. Note that although 4 galaxies are mentioned in the lab, only three are actually present on the applet.
