Rotation of galaxies. Chernin A.D.

How are the galaxies arranged? What is their place in the universe? How and when did they arise? Where did their rotation come from? In an accessible and clear form, the author talks about the attempts of astrophysicists to answer these most important questions.

The book is devoted to the problem of galaxies - the main elements of the structure of the universe. It is described about the structure of galaxies, their kinematics, dynamics, the hypotheses of their origin are discussed. The main attention is paid to ideas about the nature of galactic rotation.
