Summary
[edit]DescriptionVera Rubin using Kitt Peak National Observatory's 36-inch telescope.jpg |
English: Photograph of Vera Rubin at Kitt Peak National Observatory in 1963 operating the observatory's No.1. 36-inch telescope. Kent Ford’s Image tube spectrograph is attached to the telescope. With Ford, she continued using the Kitt Peak 2.1-m, accumulating over 60 galaxy rotation curves over the following years. Flat rotation curves were directly visible from the spectra: these data provided compelling observational evidence for a new kind of matter in the Universe, “dark matter”. Vera Rubin continued observing at Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo throughout her long career. |
