Jun 16 at 21:16 comment added Sten I am familiar with what we observe. I am asking if the author of the article you link has calculated what a distant observer would see in their spacetime. (Also, I wonder if they have taken care to ensure their spacetime does not have unphysical singularities. It is interesting that they do not cite 2303.17516.)
Jun 16 at 18:05 comment added Sten Rotation speeds are not observable. They depend on coordinates. The light that emerges is observable (e.g., how it is frequency shifted). Did the author calculate what an asymptotically distant observer sees?

Jun 16 at 14:23 comment added timm To take "confused about coordinates" a little further an example would be that the view 'expanding space" is indeed coordinate dependent as in other coordinates galaxies are moving away. But 'expanding space' is by no means observable, in contrast to flat rotation curves. Therefor the latter shouldn't be coordinate dependent. Would you agree to that?

Jun 16 at 12:17 comment added timm Sten, as I understand it, a spiral galaxy is modeled under the assumption of cylindrical symmetry of a disc, implying axial symmetry. To me this appears obvious, but its my layman view. Is something wrong with those assumptions?

Jun 16 at 10:36 comment added Sten Without reading the article, I'm pretty sure the author is confused about coordinates. See arxiv.org/abs/2303.17516
